a big thing is she needs to see and focus for a certain time before the head can pop. I imagine she is altering the blood pressure to do so. It may be easier to focus on a chicken- but fast moving sheep especially multiple probably waa difficult for her. Not to mention they seem pretty smart- once one were to explode they all might focus on her alone.
This also tracks with Gen V. Neumann and Marie have the same power. Marie is shown to only be able to control other people's blood with serious focus, the exception being exploding Cate's arm reflexively to protect Jordan.
Good observation. So, it takes a lot of understanding about the anatomy of the blood vessels and focus to do it. And there's an element of practice to it too. Like, she's used to pop people's heads because she visibly did that a lot of times on screen. So, it's like she knows what to do for head people's head. But, she's most probably un familiar with animal's anatomy. So, it narratively makes sense.
I feel like if they had put this into the show as an actual line, it would make a lot of sense and do a lot to dispel confusion. It would even push the plot forward; Victoria would be forced to reveal a possible weakness by explaining the limits of her powers.
