Help hen or roo?? Barred rock

[AmyWho]

I have a barb rock hen and she is a Majure(?) bully. She challenges the other Roos. Lol. And very chatty. I have 3 barb rocks , all hens. Lol

They are called "barred" rock, not "barb."
It's because of the black and white lines on them. They have bars...stripes....

Def. hen, barred rock can end up we huge combs and waddles.

I had a Partridge Silkie. I got last summer and recently she died from a falling nesting box. 

Omg's I am so sorry.:,( my first silky died by my nebors lab. He riped his throat out.

well the he/she attacked my 2 year old today! totally caught me off guard....it has NEVER attacked aggressive towards us. I really hope this is not reoccurring situation or it will not be living at my home anymore. (My little one had her back turned to her not evening paying attention to the chicken....so she was taunting it.) Suggestions?!?!? Please

Tell everyone not to be mean toward her, don't chase her. But there's realy nothing u can do with a mean chicken. We butcher and eat the meanies or the ones that kill other chickens and or ducks. It does happen. I have had all my RIRs gang up on a duck. The roo killed 3 ducks.

So frustrating. I don't want my girls to be scared of the chickens. I am just going to watch her and see what happens. I am telling you she is kinda of a little bully to her other feathered friend she is for sure the leader.

Yea. She might have a hormone that's out of balance. I have a rock like but she calmed down, with my banies. Lol

My White Leghorn's like that, she tries to bite and twist my fingers/hand. She like to sneak up behind my shoes to sliver a sharp peck on them too. :/
