    especially friendly chicken breeds

    my Wyandottes are super friendly. I'm getting 2 more breeds this week, so I'll have something to compare it to. But my Wyandottes are almost 4 weeks and they're always looking for me. When I put my hand in to clean the brooder they all 3 fly up to perch on my arm. It's a wonder how I get any...

    How do you become a chicken whisperer?

    and I talk to them before I stick my hands in to clean and while I'm cleaning I continue talking to them. No treats yet. But lots of love. I pet their breast area even when they're not perched on my hands.

    How do you become a chicken whisperer?

    I'm only on my first 3 chicks and they're only 2+ weeks old. But I clean the brooder 2-3 times a day. After the first week they were jumping on my hands when they(the hands) came to clean their little house. I can hardly keep them off my hands long enough to wash their water now. They're all...

And I'd have violent tendencies if they took my baby from me too! Lock me up, I'm still breastfeeding my 13...
