mean chicken

[Avibaby]

One of my chickens is attacking one of the other chickens in a very aggresive manner. She has started pecking me as well and she used to be such a sweet bird, now she's always in a rude mood! I don't have a roo and all of the others get on fine, they have been together for almost a year and now this. Help!

I was thinking prozac, but really....what is this?

it is called a PECKING ORDER.. for a reason..

and if you have NO rooster a dominant hen will take the position of "leader" and keeping order,, that includes YOU.. she must see you as part of the flock therefor she must keep you in line too...
she might even start to "crow" (as pathetically as they do)

if you make her into soup,, then the next dominant hen will rise to take charge...
if you get a rooster,, he wouild takeover and straighted things out..
