ElvisFan Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Has anyone ever thought of taking their chicks out for a walk, mine follow me everywhere and I am often temped to walk round to my sisters to see if they would come with me, don't think they would be too happy on a lead though and I'm sure they would flap off at the first opportunity ! It would be just brilliant if you could take them out places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I've also thought about that I had a lead for my rabbit once and walked it to the school! It was the only time we used it though, it refused to walk after a while I wouldn't want to walk around with a chicken though, might find a nasty dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollie333 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I used to have a Turkey hen named 'Cheryl', she would follow me up and down my quiet road, and then made habits and would go up there to see the neighbours. I wouldn't trust the chickens though, as they could wonder off, 25lb turkeys are a lot more visible than chickens, and they could walk into the road or get attacked by a dog/cat passing by.

Chortle Chook Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I love getting my chickens to follow me up the path. The can't half run But I'd be too worried that a dog would come by if I tried this outside my garden. I once took my two ex-racing greyhounds for their normal walk in the park and saw what I thought was a small dog on a lead with a couple of teenagers. My greyhounds are just fine with small dogs as they can easily smell the difference between dog and bunny . . . but YAH to my horror I realised it was not a small dog but a rabbit. I just got them on the lead in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
