migsy Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 My ex batts are the friendliest and I've had them for the shortest time. They are the first to come in the kitchen door and are generally very chilled out and easy to catch/hold etc. I don't think we can expect chickens to be as friendly or tame as dogs or cats though.

Banus Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 OK. I haven't read all of the posts on the 3 previous pages but I'll add my two peneth worth for what it's worth. We lost our Omlet miss after 2 months which left our on her own. So to save her being lonely we've introduced 2 hybrids. An Amber (Lilly) and an Copper Black (Amber) yes I have got that right. After only 24 hrs Lilly led the other 2 through our open patio window into our sitting room and the hopped onto the sofa whilst Amber jumped up onto my wifes lap who was sat our suite! - AFTER ONLY 24 hrs. Cheeky or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
