Pecking order or B*tchy hen?

[babychickfarmer]

So I have noticed that when I hoold a pullet and they scream that one of my hens ANNALISE(she's about a year old) comes over and just watches ....then as soon as I put someone down she'll run after them and either flap her wings and fluff her feathers or she'll peck them and rip some feathers out. Is that ust part of pecking order or what? She seems to do it to all the pullets everytime I set them down but only if they made a lot of noise in my arms. :

Strange... Maybe she thinks you're HER "rooster"?

I've noticed that also. I'm only venturing a guess here as to the reason...
Because the one you are holding is fussing, Annalise probably thinks that you are exerting your dominance. Perhaps she views herself right under you in the pecking order, so she is just taking the opportunity to reinforce that idea to the one you just put down.
