aggressive pullet

I do the head pecking first...then, if necessary, the push them to the ground.

How old are these birds?
Are you positive 'she's' not a 'he'?

That has crossed my mind but when i got my chickens the farmer i bought them from said they were all girls. They were all hatched on labor day weekend. She looks like the other 3, ill try to get a picture of her in a few days. Weather was crappy here today. My guess is she is the dominant and moody teenage hen. Today she did not come after me.

Today when i got home from work all 4 girls were noisy but the one aggressive pullet was not aggressive to me when i entered the coop. She was noisy but was fine with me being close to her.

It's not uncommon for friendly chickens to become a bit obnoxious as they reach sexual maturity. I would just keep putting her in her place. They do eventually settle down again after they begin laying. If necessary use something to block her from approaching you. I use a fishing net, but a soft broom or plastic rake can be used to correct and redirect forward behaviors.
