Bold Chicken: Will it become a problem?

[FeatherLace]

Oh no! Fortunately, I have no fear of birds . You could try having snacks to toss away from you on hand. I do this sometimes when I go into the coop/run just to avoid stepping on anyone. I’ll throw a piece of fruit or handful of scratch off to the side and they run for that and I can get away from the horde .

Definitely going to try that! Bring a handful of blueberries or a tomato lol

I call mine for treats, and they do come running! But they concentrate on the goodies on the ground, not jumping at me!

@Folly's place that's a beautiful rooster in your profile picture. What breed is it?

 

[Folly's place]

Thanks! He was white Chantecler, loved him! He weighted in at 8.5 pounds, and was a very nice bird. I have one of his sons, and more white Chanties this year from Cackle, after having a very bad predator episode last spring.
They are a very nice dual purpose breed for colder climates!

Never heard of Chantecler, I must Google that.

Have you been hand feeding treats? I try to keep that to a minimum, seems to make it more likely that they'll peck or bite at your hands if they associate hands with food. Better to toss the treats on the ground instead, a little bit away from you.
