Most folks don't realize that each animal is an individual complete with its own personality. As a kid we had cows, pigs, horses, chickens and even peafowl, for a while. You really do get to know them. The old peahen was just mean. She'd chase us kids every time she could. She'd even go out of her way to sneak up on us when we were playing. What a hateful bird! But she layed nice eggs. The pigs were by far the smartest animals we had.
Awww, haha sounds like you have some really good memories, and some not-so-good ones too, that pea hen sounds crazy lol!! It's funny though because they lay eggs, we put up with the vicious hens. Hey, maybe she had a rough childhood right?
No doubt she was the only hen amongst a bunch of cocks!
