This isn't aggressive pecking, it's more of a *poke poke* Does this bug you?/pay attention to me/weird way of showing bonding or affection thing. Also to be a bit of a mischievious butthead on the part of the hen. The roos will also allow the hens to segue from gently preening their head & neck feathers to allowing the hens to YANK out feathers, it's like they go into a henlove trance and don't realize how rough the hen is getting. Hence Weedcat's bare spot on his neck. Phoenix used to allow the girls to pull out his facial tufts. It has to do only with head & neck feathers with the feather plucking.
