I made the mistake in feeding the chickens some homemade ricotta cheese that I had made from leftover milk. Twice. Now the birds swarm me every time I enter the pen. I can't take a step without having 10 or so at each foot and I step on them all the time. When I reach for water/food containers, I get pecked. They fly up to peck my hands, shirts, legs, boots, face, etc. Ouch! There are only 22 of them but I feel that I am in the middle of an Alfred Hitchcock movie. I daren't trip, as I most likely would be flayed alive. They are 7 weeks old and I'd like to get another 1 - 2 weeks on them, but, gee whiz, this is greatly annoying. Any advice? They are all roos, if that makes a difference.
