I just picked up one at the local poultry sale. I am treating her for a scraped head with neosporin.
She hisses at every animal that comes near her. I think It is cute. My little dog got too close and she put her beak completely over his nose. The dog does not go near her now.
I am only allowed to pick her up if she bites my hand or shirt first. I just talk to her and she quickly calms down. She lets me treat her without too much fuss.
When I take her back outside she tries to jump down and once again bites whatever part of me is closest. I just talk to her, get her to a safe part of the yard, and gently let her down. The bites really dont hurt, but I keep my face turned away just in case.
She hops straight for my small pond. She has already laid an egg bigger than even the turkey eggs. Instant breakfast.
She does not chase anything, and keeps close to the pond.
I like her.
