hammy72 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 yeay! after a week of patiently moving calmly and slowly around my 2 chickens I have rewarded today with them both eating corn out of my hand and giving them a stroke, then finally this evening I managed to pick up Tikka (a goldline) and she didn't even try to flap she just relaxed and enjoyed a cuddle. Next challenge is to build up the trust with Snowflake who is more flappy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henergy Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 excellent news - my new ones are still a bit flighty but I've been stroking them at night when they are nearly asleep & was rewarded today but the speckeldy crouching for me today Hoping that eggs are on the way, as her comb is alot redder today too.

mart2584 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 My three come in most evenings to say hello and chill out on the sofa with us, Myrtle is the guv so she normally goes to sleep while ethel and mabel enjoy a stroke now they have settled down abit. I wouldn't be without them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
