Man they must be something then!! Lol
After reading all the accounts on the "my chicken pecked my eye" thread I'm just very conscious of it, especially with the kids.
They really are the sweetest things aren't they. One of ours would sit on my arm then hunker down and roost there. Really sweet but wayyyyy too heavy these days![]()
Yes I'd be terrified if one tried to peck my eye. I had a very aggressive chicken once, she would fly at me and leave awful bruises when she pecked me, I would wear goggles in the run because someone told me to be very careful with a chicken like that and she may go for my eyes if I bent down. After a while I had to rehome her because it got way too much and she completely upset and bullied my flock, she lives with someone who has a cockerel and is much better behaved now.
I absolutely love favs, I dont see myself without them now. I think Favs and Bantam Orps are my favourite breeds, but the ex-batts will always have a place in my heart too. I can't wait for mine to be fully grown and chunky hahaha!
