Is it normal for my Red Star Hen to attack me?

[jbabco50]

I was out changing water in my chickens run a few days ago, when i saw one of my Red Star hens attacking a silkie. I stopped to seperate them. Then the hen started attacking my Shoe like my rooster used too. Is this normal? Has this happened to you?

She was probably just caught up in the moment. And maybe she's the boss lady around the barn yard if you don't have a rooster......

I had to separate a fight this morning and I got pecked by my brother's Japanese bantam. All of my hens will attack gloves and sometimes my shoes. I think it's pretty normal.
