Ugggg... Now I dread having to go feed the chickens. (* )> There are 11 chickens which I had to help hatch at the end of November/beginning of December (Hens decided to stop sitting). The 11 chicks were cared for in my house till old enough to be outside. They always had people around them and still do. (*6 are Roosters & 5 are Hens) ~~~The PROBLEM is that while a couple of them "sometimes" try to peck at my feet, I have had 2 actually BITE/PECK my hand real hard. Today 1 of the Roosters kept trying to peck at my feet and then it got my hand. I yelled as him and another Rooster were acting aggressive, coming towards me as if they were gonna try and corner me. When I shook a twig at them & said no you bad boys, it was as if it made them more aggressive. }}}}} I thought since I hatched and care for these birds they would never be mean and bite/peck me. Is this normal behavior? I DON'T like aggressive, mean pets. I also have another rooster that i hatched, hes a little older and he is mean too. He tries to attack your legs if your in their area. (*)> Whats up with these mean chickens? What should I do? Thanks, ~Julie
