One pullet who is a "biter"!

[BethieofVA]

So I have four 12 week old birds who are pretty docile except one. I can be petting one and this hussy comes, sneaks around and "bites" me on the side of my hand. It hurt. Well, I noticed whenever I attempt to pet any of the others, she comes after me. I don't know if she thinks I have giving them a treat and not her, or if she is going to be plain ol'mean. I try to pet her, but she goes after my hands. She is also a big time shoe and toe pecker. I guess there is not much I can do, huh? LOL!

She isn't looking like a "he" is she? Sounds like roo behavior!

I actually told HER the very thing!!


As for being a roo, not very much tail development and no real comb developement. All my birds have tiny, not red yet, combs{2rir's and 2 bsl's}. I hope she is not a he. One of the other chickens seems like she rules the roost, not her. She will be stew pot material for sure.
