Was telling xshub about yinz, he was amazed. I am more than a little skeeved by chickens. Would pretty much be afraid of them pecking my eyes out and would have no idea how to deal with them w/I touching them. I’m a pansy I’m afraid : ( but I’m totes excited to make the homemade salve!
I don’t do a whole lot of hands on stuff with the chickens. You have to rememner that it is different when you have raised them from chicks. They know you.
It would be more intimidating to try to walk up to an pick up a 5 lb chicken you don’t know.
They are really good pets. One of mine was handled more as a chick, the other 2 not so much but I made it a point when I got them at 4-7 months of age to handle them as often as possible. As a result, they are docile and friendly. They would KILL for a raisin so that’s an easy way to control behavior. If one gets out of the run I just shake the little box and call her and she comes running.
