Yes, that is what I would think as the hen you picked up seemingly squawked for help.My pullets used to attack my ankles, but not so much as they have grown. I have been chalking it up to curiosity. I hear attacked by one of my roosters tonight, however. I picked up a hen and she squawked terrible. After that my rooster attacked me twice. Was he just being protective? All my birds are young 4-5 months old.
If it was a simple āpeckā I wouldnāt mind. She backed up a couple times and came at me like sheās a running back in the NFL.Wear long pants & muck boots. Mine enjoy pecking on me. Theyāre chickens it what they do.
Iāve been pecked and that didnāt bother me, itās what she was doing while she was pecking I guess. She didnāt just walk up to me and peck at my leg, she took a few steps back flew at me going for my leg, I screeched, said some words. All the while she was backing up towards the wall in the coop and then she did it again! Flew at me trying to get my leg!Having chickens is not for the timid. I have had hens to peck at freckles beginning in my youth, to moles, age spots and skin tags as I have gotten older. And they seem to be more likely to do it when they are being fed. And just like people, some chickens are just plain ornery.
Thatās why I picked them! Cold hardy and docile. And usually they are, they all come running when they hear me and are always around. Thereās a video posted of her I believe on page 2!Iām sorry this is happening. The speckled Sussex are actually my most friendly breed! I only have one right now, but she never runs away or even flinches when you touch her or go to pick her up. She comes up to you to say hi and loves attention. Iām surprised that this is happening. I donāt want her to injure you anymore so Iām sure we will all do our best to help with this. Post a video of her when you can, I hope we can solve this easily for you!
Sounds like a pecking order situation and she thinks she is above you in it.Iāve been pecked and that didnāt bother me, itās what she was doing while she was pecking I guess.

Ok, I was in a rush last night so I didnāt read through the thread Iāll look at itThatās why I picked them! Cold hardy and docile. And usually they are, they all come running when they hear me and are always around. Thereās a video posted of her I believe on page 2!
