RIR to me too ,
I have to say that some hens while they do get aggressive they do not to every one . while care taking a ranch for 3 months owner sick ,
I had one black hen fallow me everywhere we shared lunch and i started getting her crickets as treats LIVE ones LOL .
she sat on some eggs the owner returned and told me to go smash them she did not want chicks .
I started but then stopped and told her i did .
when the babies Hatched the hen lifted her body up so i could see them, like Look i did this how do you like my babies . i handed her a live worm and said they are beautiful sweety and pet her . I know this is not the norm, but i wonder if the owner just was so mean this hen was thankful for a friend the others 52 where fun and yes i got them crickets and worms too but this hen and i hit it off. I called her mid night and she even crawled in bed with me 2x Guess what time she flew threw the tent flap LOL . I miss her.Tammy
