I don’t understand this.me ... Tractor Supply shipped 1-2 day Olds I rescued. These gals demand to be petted and lapsit.
What kind of rescues are you talking about?
Tractor S is a commercial business. Why would they send rescues?
I know some domestic chickens like to sit on the lap of their caretaker. Some like a pet on the back if there is no willing rooster around. But I never heard chickens ‘demanding’ to be petted. What is their behaviour that makes you think so?
