Sudden Aggression ! HELP!!

[wednesdaythechicken]

Have you been spending less time with it?

Not at all we spend every waking hour and then sleep together. It’s worse in the dark

Hello. My chicken is 8 weeks old. For the past 8 weeks we sleep together , eat together and everything. We spend 24/7 together because she is my service animal. This week she started attacking my dad but not me. Tonight she started doing warning squeals and biting me HARD. She keeps attacking me like she doesn’t know me ? We spend every waking hour together in so confused. Is she coming of age? Will this last? She’s such a sweet girl please help

I used a spray bottle on mine to correct bad behavior

She’s regularly checked by the vet, I think it has to do with her age? I heard they can get moody bc of hormones ?

I feel so bad because I know she’s still sweet she looks more scared and confused than angry

I think you need to just leave her be when she's not in the mood. She will likely become more friendly when she hits point of lay.

Oh he was just protecting his hens the spray bottle was the only way and the nicest way to get him to stop it only took 2or3x of squirting him and he stopped but if its all of a sudden has anything changed it could be as small as your daily routine and she is just confused
