Chicken thinks I’m her mom? 🥺

[Zoologist]

I got a 4 month old silkie chicken from a lady and I’ve had her for maybe a month now. I swear this chicken thinks I’m her mother she won’t let me leave her sight, demands I cuddle her, screams when I leave, sleeps on me, and is never afraid of anything I do around her (I could make a sudden move and she’d just keep eating. She trusts me 100% and needs me to be with her whenever I’m out taking care of my chickens. Half annoying sometimes with this little one under foot constantly, but very adorable as she’s now become my new bestie. I don’t know if chickens can think of humans as their moms and I didn’t raise her.. but she’s definitely and odd one

She needs to be with the others, try the see but no touch method.

Chickens are flock animals. She needs other chickens, unless you want to be her flock….

Thank you, but she is in a flock of 5 other birds around her age
