    Carita spent 6 years doing this!  She has mellowed out lately
    though, and even allowed my husband to scratch her head.  We were
    all quite shocked!  Its almost like she realized she'd never get rid
    of him completely, so decided to tolerate him,

LOL  They do look scairy in attack mode....heck, they *are* scairy then!
Carita has bitten me to drive me away from evil things (such as my
husband). She didn't draw blood, but she dure did make me stand up and
pay attention!

I haven't ever had Carita sexed, but she surely does act like a hen.
When in the mood she will squat down, raise her tail, sort of twitch her
wings and cluck. I expect she is a hen .
