RIR attacking us

[chickens really]

My opinion and only food for thought...Stop humanizing them and treat them as the Birds they are. All chickens have the potential to turn into monsters if feed is involved.
You have to be top bird.

I have one that was feisty and would peck me and then the next day is letting me pet her now she follows me around and pecks the dirt off my pants. I give her yogurt since she is the only one that likes it.

I had a RIR that would peck me and draw blood, and she was a terrible bully to the other chickens.
Other BYC members have reported similar problems w this breed.
I will never get another RIR no matter how many people swear up and down that theirs was nice. I've had 8 other breeds and never experienced aggression in them.
I'd say crock pot for her before she hurts your kids. Or re-home her to someone who understands what they are getting.

we bring ours in and give them royal treatment , and that seems to work
