What can I do to stop a chicken?

Pullet = immature hen
Cockerel = Male

Okay so she would then be a pullet. She is only 3 months old

pullet or cockerel? and like other people have said are you sure its charging in an aggressive way like with its hackle (neck) feathers raised or just running up to you for food?

And I don't really think it was in an aggressive way her feathers weren't all ruffled or anything like that.

 

[Byrnesteph05]

Depends why it's charging. Are they male or female? How old? Sometimes they will run up to you if handled and given treats. Is it just coming to you or actually biting or attacking?

It's female 3 months. I don't think it was like attacking me but the day before it did like pick the back of my leg. And she hasn't done it again since.

It doesn’t sound like aggressive behavior to me. It sounds like she is just being pushy about getting food.

She sounds like my always-dying-from-starvation Barred Rock (my current avatar, who in fact was checking to see if I had food when the picture was taken.)

If she is not aggressive, just give her a nudge away. I have a couple pushy hens that will run over and jump at me to get my attention to give them treats, and some even pull at my shirt, lol. Bossy ladies.
