Unsecure chicken perches

[Laurachook]

Hi, one of my hens, who does happen to be top hen, has taking to following me everywhere when I'm out in the garden.

I can't sit and relax in the sunshine because she jumps on to my lap and tries to peck me. I try and fill up the food containers and she's trying to peck me, I clean them out and she's right there attacking the dustpan or my hands.

 

Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can stop her?

 

Thanks

sounds like shes trying to be ur boss, maybe try to get her to submit , put your hand on her back and make her crouch down or carry her around for a couple of mins aday... hope this helps

Thanks. I'll give it a go. Now weather is so nice I like to sit in garden with my girls but Sal is making it a pain. She'll have to understand I'm boss!
