Be Careful when Talking to your Chickens

[dsbailey70]

I found this out the hard way this afternoon. While talking to my BR hen (who's a little over 2 months old), she tried to bite my tongue! I guess that's what she tried to do, but when she pecked, she actually hit one of my teeth...lol

They are attracted to shiny/light things - teeth and eyeballs are common targets for pecking, so it is important to stay on your toes when you have them in close proximity to your face.

Thank you. That's good to know; I will be more careful.

Yep, keep your face away from their beaks....they'll put yer eye out!
