Hi all,
I have a broad-breasted white turkey hen that is about 8 months old and she has always been the sweetest thing, until recently. Lately, she has become aggressive and will puff up her feathers and peck at me and make a noise I've never heard her make before. She never used to do this and she used to love to be pet and was never aggressive like this ever before. Anyone have any ideas why this is happening?
Also, I don't know if this is related, but I came home today and one of my white leghorn hen's head is bleeding like crazy and she was obviously attacked by something, then I noticed that my turkey's beak had blood on it as well. She has lived with chickens her whole life since I got her as a chick, so I don't know if possibly she is the culprit of attacking my leghorn or an animal since they are free-range.
