Wondering... Any one had an aggressive pullet before?

My Svarthona pullet has taken to biting & even jumping at feet, once or twice. Yes, she's a pullet, lol, I know what it sounds like... But unless she's a hen-feathered cockerel with a small comb and an attitude, I don't think so.

It's mainly when I walk past her roost to close the back door that she decides to try and take a bite out of me. Her brother is a sweetie, but evidently she needs to be taught some manners...


Yes. I have an SFH that is a biter. She actually seeks me out, stands up to me and gives me a tongue lashing whenever I'm around. If I'm reaching in to feed or whatever, she's right there waiting for an opportunity.

I call her "Cranky".

I thought about eliminating her from the flock but she's a pretty small girl and I can just pick her up and go on about my business. She's easy to pick up because she's always right there looking for an opportunity to fight.

I have never had any birds like her before.

I'd post a photo but no clue how to accomplish that !

How nice! We get to hatch together for once! :clap are you feeling ok? you should have left me send you serama before you set silly!!!!!

Yes.

I might just warm the eggs and give them to that broody, but I also want to see what hatches out of the egg I found on top of the hay this evening from that one hen.
