Have you been pecked in the eye by your chicken?

Have you been pecked in the eye by your chicken? I guess I got a little too comfortable with my chickens & was showing my nieces the variety at my house. Of course it was the last one I showed and out of no where she pecked my eyelid (luckily not my eye). It startled me. I can't be the only one, right? I have never had it happen before but definitely taught me to be more careful.

This is the fiesty yet fierce Lady Marmalade that pecked me. She is a sweetheart heart though.

Bright eyes or ear rings are frequent targets.

They like to peck at shiny things... eyes included

Yes! My half grown midnight Marans has pecked my eye twice! The second time she came from the side, pecked, and my contact was gone ...

They like going at braces, but miss and bite my lips. Those birds are hilarious.

My chicks 11 weeks old and have a strange obsession for tobacco .... i have to be really careful when rolling a fag as they try to take it outa my hand and run off with it (not lit thank god)
