Aggressive chicken

Recommended Posts

I'm posting for a work colleague- I wonder if anyone has any ideas?

 

She has one chicken, has had her for about a year, and just in the last few weeks it has become aggressive- if her or her children go in the garden it will rush up to them and try and peck them. Its getting to be quite a problem for her. She wonders whether its lonely, but getting another chicken may make it worse? Its still laying and I presume its healthy (I haven't actually seen it).

 

thanks for any advice!

I once had a singleton for a few years out of pure ignorance and she was fine. However, Heckle could have been the exception that proved the rule. :?

 

I would go along with Laura and Anne and recommend your colleague getting two (not one) more. And they should be of a similar size to the singleton, I would guess.
