Memory is bit faded with time, but when I was about 4 or so, we had chickens and I was feeding them, one seemed to not like me or my bantam rooster, started pecking at me, a solid whack with a half full feed bucket solved the problem! but that as nearly 78 years ago! Btw, we got 50 unsexed chicks, 49 roosters and 1 hen - there was a big chicken dinner for the neighborhood!
