Can you spend to much time with your chickens?

[HenMamaEm]

Hi,

I'm new to having chicken, we've only had our 8 week old chick's home for about a week now and I'm out there everyday after work with them. While I'm out with them they just pop around doing their own thing or eating food from my hand or hoping in and off me and I leave no problem. But after the 4th day of doing this they when I would leave they come up to the gate opening trying to get out and peeping their head off till I come back. When I come back they kinda ignore me doing their own thing again.

I'm wondering if I'm spending too much time with them maybe distracting them from being chicken lol or maybe I'm just over thinking it all

They love you. They’ll always be chickens, you hanging out with them means you are part of their group. I don’t see any harm in it!

Hello and welcome to BYC, You found an Amazing Poultry Community to be a part of with many great knowledgeable members, who are more then willing to jump in and help you along your journey with any questions you may have.

IMO, Show me a stupid owner and I will show you a stupid pet! What you put into them is what you get out of them, so I say NO you cant spend to much time with the animals you love.

Best of luck with your chickens and please keep us post on your journey.

All is well. Some birds are more friendly than others. I have had birds that love to be held and other that don't want to be touched. Good luck with your flock and have fun...
