Yup, the Hellbeasts peck and tug until they get attention.

Re: Does everyone have a butt pecker?
Yep, have had a few. Just their way of guaranteeing that they have your attention, to remind you to dispense treats - since you're in the the neighbourhood anyway.

Re: Does everyone have a butt pecker?
One way to get attention, Wyandottes are too polite for that, but Ameraucanas pull bottom of pants, and fly waist high, so you don't miss them

Re: Does everyone have a butt pecker?
I have decided to call the butt pecker in my flock Rosey. She also pecks at my sleeve or shoulder if she is above. She never gets any extra treats, but she does get held for a few seconds. Oh... and she gets petted a lot.
