VERY, VERY AGGRESSIVE CHICKENS FIGHTING OVER A SOCK

[Matejka]

its a chicken.

Its a sock

This morning, my girls attacked me. When I bent over to chcl waterer my ankles were exposed-for only a few seconds.
I must have declared war!

They were swarming all over my feet. Pecking biting
1 or 2 birds on each foot
There was no give
One grabbed a beak full of sock and tried to run
Down I went,
6 lb chicken trying to drag 170 lb woman by a sock across the pasture.
She almost succeeded.
Its kinda funny now.
But it makes me realize chicken ARE animals and accidents do happen.
If I am found dead in the pasture, check my socks first
It might not be foul play
It might be FOWL play.

Man! Attack of the Attack Chicken! I had a rooster who couldn't stand my blue fluffy mittens. He attacked my hands all the time because he didn't like my mittens. But socks- Ok, that's just too funny!

I have a cockerel who decides he doesn't like what I'm wearing on occasion too. The pullets don't care, but for some reason he does!

I swear people who don’t have chickens are missing out! Chickens are an animal you would never expect to be so amusing they never fail to make me laugh when I’m with them. When they hate things like your socks for no reason it’s probably one of the funniest things they do!

It hurts! I have 4 or 5 bruises on tops of feet from pecks/bites. Gonna soak In hot bath. These ole bones are not made for falls or rolling around in pasture trying to get up and fight chickens at same time.

I'm glad I read this before I posted myself laughing. Take care of yourself and do what I do, no socks on when tending the chickens!
