You reminded me of my problem.I got tired of telling them to go away, so,I went about my business as normal. They learned really quickly that if they stick around by me I'll shovel them with the compost. I'll step on their footsies. And I'll dump cut and bundled branches (for my fire pit) on them if they don't move. Needless to say, they no longer follow me around begging every-time I let them out while I'm out doing chores. They go about their business doing what they do.Silly little things are worse than begging dogs.
Mine don't follow me around any more either, but they do monitor every movement I make. If they suspect I'm headed for the Repository of the Sacred Scratch they come running. Unless they're mining a particularly productive bug patch, in which case Godzilla could come stomping through the yard and they wouldn't even notice. I keep telling people, chickens are not stupid. They're just extremely focused
