It’s a hen, not a rooster. So it isn’t even territorial. It can pick your bare toes and while it may surprise you, I’ve never had them break skin/bled from it. (And I never bother putting on shoes). But my spouse has a pair of sandals? Slides some would call them that are like foam and the always are interested in pecking those to see if they are food, I think it’s the design.

Now if the rooster in the middle really wanted to start something maybe you’d have reason to peck back but kicking a hen is is like is akin to roundhouse kicking an unsuspecting toddler in the face. It isn’t self defense, it’s dropping a nuclear bomb on a homeless person asking for change

I’m not OP. I don’t know what that chicken was doing to him. But if it’s enough to drive him away from his fishing spot, I say that’s enough to warrant hitting back.
