How dangerous are chickens on a scale of 1-10?

Answer 1

Well it can depend. As a chicken breeder my chickens are quiet, though I might get a broody hen and I would say 1.5/10. Then you have roosters. nearly all roosters are quiet. and they usually only get aggressive when they find you as a threat, and that's only a small percentage of roosters. Aggressive roosters who have not had much contact with people or bad experiences with people would probably be on the scale of 2.4/10. Though some roosters could get to 3 or 4 out of ten. It is not so much the pecking or clawing, but the spurs on the side of their leg which don't have any skin or scales, just claw. they can get quite long and sharp which is what roosters use for attacking. But most breeders cut these spurs like our fingernails making them a lot less dangerous. but to sum it all up it really depends on the chicken and its nature and temperament. So it is quite hard to sum up how aggressive chickens are, but they would average, 0.7/10
