My chickens are as tame as anyone else's but hate being picked up. They won't have anything to do with me if I try to pick them up. They eat out of my hand and stay at my feet but avoid me if I try to catch them.
My chickens are as skittish today as the day I brought them home. Some chickens will bond with humans better than others.Depends on their personality. Fact: Most chickens don't like being held or picked up. They'll chase you for treats an dattention but run the minute you try to pick them up...
