    how else can i make my chickens love me???

    This is exactly what I did!! Bought 10 1 week old RIR 10 weeks ago and loved on them from the start! Feed them treats by hand, hold them every day making them feel secure and loved and they give it right back ♥️ Certainly there are some more loving than others, but there all my babies.
