I just like that their submissive behavior makes it easier to catch them. Last night when I went out to close their door for the night, 5 of the 7 chickens came running out to see me. I may have them a little too spoiled. Whenever they see me, or hear me, they come running because I often bring...
I've just been scooping her up and carrying her around. Maybe she'll learn that being submissive just means that I'm going to carry her around treat her like a pet rather than...whatever it is that chickens like to think they are. Mine are definitely pets though, people keep asking if we're...
