Chickens pecking your hands?

Published on 9 Mar 2015

Some times your chickens go broody and are much more protective of their eggs. When that happens you're going to want to have your hands protected otherwise they can peck you and at times break skin.

I keep a cheap pair of rubber dipped gloves in my chicken coop for when I do chores. They keep my hands from getting pecked and have the side benefit from protecting me from getting coated in chicken poop.
