Chat room for non religious poultry keepers! :D

With a lot of time, patience, and bugs. It took several months to train my big roo to stop what he was doing and stand perfectly still by simply doing this: 🖐🏻. I finally got him to listen solely to the hand command. I regularly speak to him, just using my normal voice, and while doing so I will hold up my hand and he will just freeze. Even if I am saying to come to me, or go into the coop (you know, urging him to move), he still responds to the hand signal. He also responds to my hand signals to "run", "protect", and "go into the coop". The little roo now knows the "freeze", "run", and "go into the coop" signals.

I am trying to teach the big one a certain motion to tell him to lie down, but he is not liking that one, as it makes me need to press on his back while doing the motion. He sees it as a dominance thing, rather than a training thing. 😅
Yeah, I don't have the patience for that :lau I had enough trouble teaching my dog the basics.
 
I'm sorry to hear this. :hugs But it sounds like she had a really long life. You should rejoice in that.

Quite. I definitely have a lot of good memories associated with her and the other birds I got along with her, all no longer with us now. ❤️


Almost x3 here, so watch it, ya young whippersnappers! :old

Whoops :oops: I usually am pretty chill about my age, it just struck me sort of hard with that.

I hope everyone realizes that I'm kidding. :)

You're only as old as you feel. Some days, I'm 10, other days I'm 100!

But when your youngest child turns 30, well... Okay, you start thinking you're old... :lau :oops:
