Hattie_Bob Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Hey everyone, I let my chickens roam around the garden yesterday and discovered that my chickens are scared if anyone comes in the garden and fly really high. Now i know that you can clip their wings but you cant go near them without them flying round the garden im worried if i try to handle them they will fly and injure themselves becaus last time one flew into a window . Any ideas please??????????? Hattie and the Chickens xxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alet_chicken Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Hi, welcome to the forum! I would suggest waiting until just before bedtime, when they are sleepy and maybe not so flighty. Or if yours are as silly as mine, definitely wait until they have been asleep for an hour or so, then they should be much easier to handle. Good luck!

fluffy chick Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I assume the chickens are quite new to you. I trained all mine to come to me (by holding corn in my hand for them) before I let them out the runs. You'll need them to come to you incase you need to put them away quickly. They will become tame very quickly as chickens are ruled by their stomachs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
