I'm feeling really loved by my girls tonight!! Have been spending loads of time with them and it has been paying off as all come running when they see me, are very cuddly and not skittish at all and don't mind being handled which makes life a lot easier for us.

 

Tonight whilst cooking tea, i had Thelma in the kitchen, she was probably the most scaredy when we bought them home and didn't like being stroked, etc. at all - i felt her just being with me was a great improvement.

 

Then tonight whilst waiting to put them in to bed.....this happened, she was letting me stroke her and give her kisses and everything

 

 

 

Also, if that wasn't cute enough, when we opened the house up to pop her in as she was settling down on me for the night, the other 4 were fast asleep on their perches.....unfortunately OH had put the camera away by that point though so missed a major cute picture!!

That's so sweet . It's lovely when they start to trust you isn't it . (More so with ex-batts, I should think!)

[Chickens@61]

aww, your hard work with them is paying off!

 

it must be so lovely for them to feel loved after their rubbishy start in life

[cluckbok]

Oh nice pic mummy hen! She looks very friendly!

[*mummy_hen*]

Was reluctant to put her in but as you can see it was getting dark and all the other girls were tucked up and quiet as mice.

 

It really does pay off to just spend as much time with them as possible and not rush them, eventually they will then ask for the attention that you so desperately want to give them!!

 

Thanks all - just love to share and i know you guys all understand!

mummy hen, you are just as special as your girls!

[*mummy_hen*]

Aww, thank you Sue - is special a code word for a little bit mental? Hehe!

[frenchlayer]

Nah you're not mental. Just in love with your chooks and proud.

 

I dragged my friend around this afternoon to look at my chooks because she hadnt seen them for a week !

 

so NO not mad.
