Buff Rock Chicken

[thepatriotswife]

I am very new to raising chickens, though we have been planning having them over a year. I have a question, I have a 2 week old buff rock chicken that is constantly pecking all the other chickens (Dark Brahamas). When I put my hand into her container, she will peck at me and even try to bite me. Is this normal? All the other chickens are sweet to each other, but this chicken pecks the others and seems to be more independent. She is supposed to be a female but I am now wondering if all these things she is doing indicate she is actually a he. I would appreciate feedback.

She's probably a she! They have a tendency to be just a little meaner then roos at that age. She's probably trying to be boss, try removing her for a day, let her be by herself and when you put her back with the others she may have settled down by then.
