braden01 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 ...our 2 girls, particularly MsPP Clucker, are hilarious now they have got used to us. As soon as we let them out in the garden with us, they follow us round and if we move away quickly they run/flap to keep up with us - it is like they are on a piece of elastic. My younger daughter (4) finds it hysterical and marches round the garden shouting 'quick, march' with them following her - it's her party trick when her friends come round. Anyone else got chucks with funny habits?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_H Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Our 2 follow us around as well. The more determined the walk, the more likely they are to follow - they don't want to miss out on anything. I have trained them that a whistle means a treat (just in case I ever needto get them in quickly, fox,cat, dog, whatever) - that always gets them running to me wherever they are hidden in teh garden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Its so sweet (ok its cupboard love who cares!) I call chooook choook chook and mine come running, they also run over if I dig in the garden to scratch around. Fandango will propel herself 3 feet in the air for grapes.

Snowy Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 My sons chase each other round the garden and the chooks chase the sons! Hilarious to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xScrunchee Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I wasn't expecting them to chase us so when I thought I heard a knock at the door and ran down the garden, I nearly had a heart attack hearing their wings going and seeing them running behind me! LOL At the moment I am worrying so much about Liam accidentally treading on them though. He's only 2 and I am constantly saying- Liam, Rose is behind you, Liam- mind Ria, Liam-be carefull of Bobbie. Liam is very good at finding all their poo's though-manages to step right in it every time!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
