I've noticed that the stories about chickens pecking someone's eye are almost entirely from people who do not wear glasses.
My smaller ones are often around chin level. Bad habit, I know, but I have yet to break it. They get a glint when they're about to peck at something they're curious about. I keep an eye for that glint and if I see it, I turn their head away. Usually the hens are more stubborn about that than the malesI just established the habit based on my experience with cockatiels -- the dominant bird perches the highest so I never allow a bird to sit above my eye level.
Oh definitely. Get those more often than the idiot meanies unfortunately. I'd much rather a bumbling ball of confused fury than one that knows where to hit when I'm least readyor the smart mean ones, they are the worst!
