Any suggestions as to why my chicken has started to attach me. She was always having a bite when we fill her food or water and has had a go at my fingers when I open the run, but today she would not leave me alone, charging at my feet and chasing me out of the garden.

definite not a he, we are getting eggs from her every day now. Might have been my socks, but she always has a go at my fingers when I change her water. The other one is fine, just this little blighter. If she attacks me again I am gonna leave a packet of PAXO in the run...I'll show her!

Do you use rainwater or tap water? She may prefer grotty puddle water and has no other means of communicating.
