hehe I have some grown Orps like that. Too much "junk in the trunk" I guess

I give her a butt trim when I get tired of looking at it, but it seems to have eased. Maybe it's the fresh greens in spring or something that made them more uh... runny or something.

Smile! I've not actually had one with such a ferocious temperment so it's funny to think about.

Now that I think of it, my most fearless BO when it was a chick started pecking me when I got close once it grew up. I started holding it down by its neck when it pecked me and now she doesn't do that any more. We are nice to each other now lol.

I thought of this thread last night when I was moving some birds around the grow-out pen that I'm keeping my ISA Browns in. They're just now six weeks old and still not all roosting yet so they tend to pile into one corner. I have to block it off at night so they don't pile too bad. As I was doing so one of the cockerels I have in there latched down on my finger like he was a pit bull and would not let go. Picked him clean up off the ground by his beak and he was determined to hold on.

Oh this gave me a good giggle this morning! I hope your fingers all right though! I know my dog is Dyslexic (she's a Lab, but thinks she's a LaP dog, lol), maybe chickens are "misinformed"? "I'm not a chicken...I'm a pitbull!"

As for the "junk in her trunk"...I do not relish the idea of chasing a fully grown chicken down so I can take a pair of scissors to her rump, lol. But yeah, she's got a bit more when I look at her from the back...which isn't often, she's in love with the flash on my cell phone's camera, lol! SHe actually starts "posing" as soon as she sees my phone!​

I didn't get pecked by the babies but one of my pullets has developed the habit of nailing me behind the knee if I take too long to pet her when she runs up to greet me.
It's sort of cute but sometimes painful if she gets a good one in.

This is how I came to have a pullet named Molly Stop It!

She's actually much nicer now, but the name seems to have stuck.

Lordy, I wish mine would! When they see a camera they all say "QUICK! TURN AROUND!"
