Hip Hillbilly Acres
Crowing
Okay so I have been reading differing experiences about making one's flock friendly.
Honestly, I have made progress because before a week ago I had NEVER touched a live chicken. When hubby had them a decade ago I would not dare touch them. Well, I purchased our gals a little over a week ago and I have touched maybe thrice. They are so soft and squishy I feel like with my big Walter hands I'm gonna break 'em.
Thinking re the friendliness making thing perhaps the "sitting down next to their brooder" as I have read would be next best thing. Here's my query:
Do you R E A L L Y think that will make a difference in my flock not being afeared of me? I think about talking to them (heeey, I'm trying here). But I know I would grow tired of that quickly. I can though sit while doing some reading or meditating.
What I think may be better is when I get my next set of birds having them brood in here where I hang out . . . my Jehovah Joy Bible Study Reading Meditation Watercolouring Calligraphy Business Writing Practice Room.
Geesh, I should just name my hang out "The She Shack"; but don't ya think my name is unique? ![gig :gig :gig](/styles/byc-smilies/gig.gif)
