Thank you, this is why I don’t play the lotto 😆 Although, Heihei has a special place in my heart right now. He’s the most social and wants to be pet and held
You're welcome.
Petting and holding is not something you want to encourage as he's not being social or friendly. In the chicken world, the high ranked chickens get treated the best by the others, if you're being nice to him, he'll think he's your equal or superior and be quick to put you or anyone, especially kids, in your 'lower ranking place' by attacking. Start smacking him away.

Sadly the boys won’t be staying with us but this is good to note! Thanks for the info
