Crazy Chickens People Thread (I hope this catches on!!!)

Awww! They sound adorable, and I love the names! I also have four hens, all ISA Browns (Because I live in the city I needed to make sure they were all girls), Bertha, Greta, Anna and of course Willamina.

Thank you, each person in my family named one! I love those names too! They sound like sweetypies, mine are 14 weeks

I have a flair for the exotic! My Roo BLU.View attachment 2276024

I always kinda liked polish, but they're not survivors out here with their crests. Hence the Spitzhaubens who can still see without haircuts and can free range with little worry

Same broody as above. Day 3 and she ‘found’ 8 bar rock and 4 black Australorp chicks in place of her eggs. At noon. She should be dragging them out tomorrow. I had to gather them up for drinks and dinner. They were born Tuesday. All run like hell for her when startled.... and I received enough pecks from her getting them to eat and drink that I KNOW she claims them.
My name is Mark. I have a chicken problem.

My chickens are scared of me. I have had them since 8 May and they were about 13 weeks old. No matter how I entice them with goodies, they stay extremely wary. And rightly so, since I am very impatient and volatile. I feel so envious of others when I see them sitting with a hen on their lap. I am hoping I can tame a chick if any eggs hatch. I'd love to be able to post close-up. I'd love to be able to catch them without melodrama and heart attacks. Anger is my active emotion when startled, or sad, or hurt or disappointed, whatever. The birds freaking out on me when I need to powder them or check them over is counter-productive, so now I just leave them be and dream from afar. Any tips?

first, recognizing your problem is huge. Now you should calmly sit and just watch them. Let them get used to you again. If one approaches you drop a treat near you. Touching and handling them will come later. They have to learn to trust their person

Beautiful eggs. What kind of chicken lays those enormous round ones?

Regular old production reds, my Golden Comets to be more specific. They lay extra large eggs daily for me, but they often have a large ratio of reproductive diseases compared to the heritage breeds and most die fairly young, so I'm in the middle of phasing them out of my flock as nice as it is to have the beautiful eggs.
