Ok, I have a problem for the seasoned chickeners. I have two males left, a Cochin Roo that never messes with me and is great around all the kids that live and come to my house (ages 3-9) and then there's Sprite, our silkie boy. He used to be so sweet, but all of a sudden anytime myself or one of my daughters walks past Cloud, our one silkie girl, he attacks us. He has not done this to hubby, who has only been home for 3 weeks. This morning he did it twice, and as usual I picked him up and carried him around, the little $!?&@ BIT me! I swear I almost snapped his neck right there. All the kids that visit our house know how to treat the chickens, they're not mean they don't chase them and they know how to pick up Cloud...I can't have a tiny evil chicken scratching up their legs. I have one nephew who for some reason has been scared to death of the chickens since they were five weeks old, I can't imagine how traumatized he'd be if Sprite attacked him. I can't decide if its good or bad that he only does it when we're walking between him and Cloud, like he's protecting her? But I'm also thinking I don't want babies from that little terror, since most people say not to breed a mean Roo. What do I do? I'm open to suggestions.
Edit to add...he's under a year old.
Oh, and I'm working on the duck pics....going to take pics of the checking stall too, since we removed the cabinet coop.
