Molting-angry polish bantam

[Hebkate]

Is it normal for molting chickens to be more aggressive? My polish bantam is more aggressive than normal. She is molting.

Yes. Molting is physically and sometimes mentally stressing and can result in temporary personality changes.

Agree 100%. Also the new feathers can be very sensitive so they don't like being touched at all, by other chickens or people.
