I let my chicks run around in the yard everyday when I get home. They get to stretch their wings while I freshen the water and refill the feed. They follow me from the coop up to the house where the water spigot is and they know when I walk back they get treats. I love it that they follow me back and forth. Here'a video of them following me back to the coop for their evening treat.

Wait a minute! I swear it looks like you were following the chickens! You are so well trained you didn't even know you are following them around.

LOVE it!! It makes my day when I go visit my birds! They can be on the far side of the run, and when I walk up and squat down and call them they just come a runnin'! I know they are looking for a treat, but I like to think they are running up to ME!
