Attacked by a chicken?

[candychick]

Today i was feeding my chickens and one of them attacked me she wasnt broody or anything but i was just wondering why

Maybe she was really hungry and was trying to make you put out the food quicker

 

[candychick]

it wasd after i put the food down

If it was after you fed her, I'm not sure why she would've done that. If she is a pullet or a young hen, she might have been just playing around.

Are you sure she's not actually a he? If you only have hens, maybe the top hen sees you as a flock member and is trying to establish her dominance over you just like she does with the rest of the hens.

no she is an easter egger and i get blue eggs from her so i am certain it is a girl and she is not the dominant hen so maybe she was just playing around i dont know but that could be the case
