Duck behavior - agression or just Hey

[JenInNev]

My Khaki 3 1/2 month old hen has a habit of greeting me (and one of my adult sons) with her neck bent and head down running towards us. Her beady little eyes don't help with the feeling of demonic possession.

Friendly hello, or a get the hades out of my yard?

How does she act once she gets to you?

She just runs towards me then goes back to finding flies and ants ... first time she did it to my son, he kinda jumped up on the lawn chair. When he would put his feet down she would do it again. It's a short "charge" ... She is also the only one who flirts and submits to the drakes. And is the dominate female of the 3.

I've never had a female do this had a few drakes. As long as she doesn't make contact just ignore her. She may be trying to intimidate. If you don't like it then when she comes towards you like this start towards her like your going to pick her up. That should change her mind real quick. You could share a video so we can see.
