help! my hen attacks me!

[Laurawesome]

Im not sure what went wrong . she's about two and has stopped laying eggs for quite some time now. If I walk next to her she will jump up latch onto me and peck me and scratch me. She used t be the sweetest hen and loved big cuddles. Any ideas?

Hummm... Is she broody?

 

[Ol Grey Mare]

Is she coming out of a nest box or out of a particular spot when she does this? Not laying and being aggressive to your approach could be an issue of being broody (wanting/thinking she is setting on a clutch of eggs to hatch them). How long has she been acting this way?
