Help! My chicken is being a jerk!

[whittychick]

So almost every night my Buff O can be a little aggressive and moody when I try and lock the coop up. She'll try and peck at my hand when I'm locking the inside door. Tonight she actually flew at me when I tried to lock the coop up! What is her problem! She's not like that any other time but when I lock the coop.

Idk. I've had a roo do that. But never a hen

I know me either! She's a sweetie by day but little brat by dusk

Only thing I can think of is if she can't see well enough and don't recognize you.

It's almost like she thinks I'm going to disturb everyone while they're trying to settle in?? I'm going to try and handle her more and show her who's boss
