Are some chickens just not nice?
My largest, lightest pullet (barred rock) has been charging my dog and today she charged me. I was walking in the backyard in flipflops and I felt a peck on my heel. She continued to charge me until I left the backyard. Later in the afternoon, we had no issues. I don't have any recent pictures of her, but I have posted one a while back somewhere on BYC to see if she was a roo since she was so much lighter.
They are about 13 weeks old. Shouldn't it be obvious by now if she is actually a he?
It should be noted that she is the leader of my little flock of 4. She is also the largest and boldest. I'm thinking that if this continues, I may get to finally taste a backyard chicken!
I admit that I thought it was kind of funny when she would puff up and hop at the dog, but it's not so funny when it's my foot. And she keeps giving me that eye as if to say, "You want a piece of me?" A thigh would be nice.
