An experiment in chick taming

[PrairieChickens]

Just a quick story - one of my first ever chickens (raised from 1 week old) would travel with me in the car every week to visit children in schools. Her name was Paxo and she would just sit on her perch whilst I did my lesson and would let anyone pet her. She was a Rhode Island Red - like the 6 chicks I currently have.

I want to do something like that with Gaga, my Polish, but I'd need a diaper for her first.

Henrietta, the lap chicken. She the smallest, but tamest of the Barred Rocks.
