Cornish Pets

Welcome to BYC! and good luck with your pets.

My cornish-X chicks have always been such sweetie pies, until this year. This batch is just food crazy! they peck my hands as I try to clean their brooder and stand on my feet and peck at my legs until I put the feeder down. They try to fly up to the feeder as I carry it to "the spot" and try to fly out of the brooder when I remove teh feeder to clean and fill it. Crazy bunch this time.
Oh yeah, and they think it is cool to stand on top of the 3 gallon waterer and poop all over it.

Ha! they sound like quite a silly bunch!! Yes, my guys love to angle their poop inside the feeder. LOL! But they are super sweet and affectionate and sassy at the same time. Too cute for their own good, for sure! We are definitely monitoring their food and getting them lots of exercise. Nice to meet you!
 
Wait...what??? 6 years and finally introducing yourself?!

Oh well!!! Better late than never!!! Pleased to meet you! :hugs
 
Also, toys!
Some chickens like to chase and attack cat toys. Any sort of toy that you can stuff full of treats will do the trick, too. A hunk of lettuce or such hung up high where they can jump at it would also get their attention. Food on a string may be worth a try, like an edible version of those cat toys that you wiggle for the cat.
