As I catch up on the posts, I see there are quite a few child fear stories. Scared of grass. Now that's an unusual one!! I think I share the same favorite part of the first video with max13077. Just when Saul thinks all of the chickens have gone away and he's safe, he turns around...
For those who are interested in seeing the development of my neighbor's little boy interacting with my chickens, I just posted another video on youtube: http://youtube.com/user/strumhead

Chicken treats? Mine love grits. Made exactly the same way you would make them for people (but without the butter and pepper!)--just grits, salt and water. They also like regular corn meal made the same way. The other day I made a pan of fresh "worms" that were EXTREMELY well received. I...
