RE: [CHICKENS-101] Mean little chicky..

yeah well my 2yr old just turned around and kicked him like he was a ball and she doesnt have much strength because she has dwafism and is small but he still came after her. i picked him up and held him and he was sweet so im wondering if he got teased one day. he used to be the sweetest bird and loved to sit on the kids shoulders.

This happened to me..one day our roo (raised from a chick, so very nice and
sweet) turned. We think it is from our nephew who came over and the was
playing running with him. From that day forward, I had to carry a rake
around the property, or anything else for that matter...because it was
either him or me. That bird would stalk and attack me multiple times a day.
And did he ever get the hose squirted on him, shooshed with my rake, threw a
few rocks too. THEN he started jumping on my brand new car when I would pull
in the property and he would jump on the hood. Nope, the horn didn't work.
LOL I was trapped!!! My husband would just laugh but it was getting
old..fast. J

We gave him to a friend and had to part ways. That is my one and only scary
chicken story. Good luck with yours, I have no clue how to discourage that
kind of behavior. Mine just got worse.
