chicken has gone crazy

Date sort Score sort
Hello :frow and Welcome To BYC! X4, it is probably the pecking order working itself out as young as your birds are, both cockerels and pullets will spar and jump at each other. You may want to post good closeup pictures of your chicks on the What Breed/Gender forum for help with figuring out what gender you have https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/15/what-breed-or-gender-is-this

Just give them as much room as you can, and if you truly have a mean bird, you may need to rehome her or use pinless peepers on her.

X2 I have on rare occasions had a hen that was so aggressive that I had to cull her out of the flock. I hope that's not the case here.

P.S. Never had it happen with a Buff Orpington hen though. Of course, there can always be exceptions with any breed.
 
I will try and get some close ups of them in the next couple of days. I have an eye infection so sometimes I can see sometimes I can't so I will get them as soon as possible. Thank you everyone for your help.

Sorry to hear about your eye infection. I hope it clears up soon.
 
You have three beautiful birds. I especially love the golden feathers of your Buff Orpington. I currently have 4 of them. They are very gentle and my granddaughter has made pets of them.
 
Haha she is the crazy one! Thank you! The RIR is Bernadette the BO is Penny and the BCM is Sheldon (boys name I know but I am addicted to the Big Bang theory) Do you think they are females?
