Problem Hen

Why is your hand so close to her when feeding? Sometimes they will peck my toes, if I am in sandals and have painted nails, but I feed standing up, pour from above. Years ago, Centrchid gave what I have found to be very good advice. I go into the run, and they all come running, and I put their feed on a bench, and fiddle with cleaning up and adding fresh water. I just calmly watch them until they get rather bored and walk away, they have calmed down. Just takes a few moments, then I adjust the feeders.

But my hands are no where close to my birds. Easiest thing is to change how you are feeding them.

The way the coop is structured I need to lean in to feed them and they converge on the trough, really nothing else to do.

Never had a problem before this hen.
