Electricbarbarella Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I love them but they are a bit evil and I am a bit cautious of them, when we go to feed them they will attack so I end up feeding and watering them before I let them out in the morning. They also attack the dogs and I worry that one day the dogs will have had enough, they pin the terrier in a corner and peck at her and wont let her back toward the house. Because of this they dont end up freeranging as much as I would like, a couple of hours on sat and sun but thats it. They are in a cube with 2 extensons so plenty of space but I love to see them pottering about the garden. All the chooks I have had before have been lovely and friendly, if I have to do anything to these ones I have to put on proper gardening gloves and have a right job catching them. Anyone got any tips for making them less evil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartrus Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Hi there. i wondered if you have tried meal worms. There are very few chickens I know of that can resist. They may then associate you with treats! Maybe spend time just sitting with them with protection at first of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
