I find that very hard to believe. To-date, I've never witnessed an overly aggressive buckeye female, especially a younger bird of only 14 months old. Buckeye females are simply not aggressive. It is entirely possible that internal/unforeseeable health ailments could be the culprit. I reared and have fed out hundreds of buckeye pullets/hens......the only time I've ever noticed a small spat would be when I introduce a new face to the hen lot and there is a small tussle to establish pecking order and even then it lasts all of about 2 minutes.I just found this thread in another section:

I've heard a lot about Buckeyes, but this is the first thing I heard about them being aggressive.
Hey everyone, exciting news for Buckeye Nation and myself. The Buckeye breed officially has its first Grand Master Breeder. I confirmed it with secretary of the APA. I successfully earned enough APA exhibition points to be recognized as a Master Breeder last year and will be recognized in the APA yearbook. I had 91 points towards the Grand Master honor going into 2014. After winning in Marietta, OH and in Frankfort, KY this year, I have enough points to recognized as the first ever Grand Master Buckeye Breeder! Frankfort was a very important show and the Ohio Buckeye did GREAT!
