Chirping
My RIR has always been feisty, but lately she is especially mean to my kids. Whenever they are in the yard playing she runs up to them and pecks at their legs or back. It wasn't hard at first, but then she started leaving marks on them. I started locking her in the coop while my kids were playing. Then yesterday when I let her out and was holding a bag of mealworms she jumped up and pecked the side of my leg. I had blood dripping down my leg and she tore skin away. (this was through pants) She used to be my favorite and I used to laugh at how she was a little feisty, but now I'm kind of scared of her! Is there anything I can do to get her to calm down and stop pecking us? Is this normal?
