aaah, yay. Your chickens sound fun and sweet. Cool to hear what you had to say.My experience has been the opposite. I have chickens & turkeys that are closely bonded, come looking for us, search us for food & treats, hop into our arms to be carried around, perch on our shoulders, etc. The ducks,not so much. They tend to run from us & really don't even eat the treats we give them. It may just be a bonding issue. My ducks go outside asap due to the mess they make, chicks & turkeys stay in a little longer & tend to get handled more as babies.
My son & daughter have each had "shoulder chickens." My son had a little smooth showgirl who rode around on his shoulder & watched tv with him. My daughter has an EE hen who stands between her feet & pecks her legs until she picks her up & carries her around. I have a turkey hen who tugs my jacket strings, shirt tail or pant legs until I pet her or hand her treats. My birdies are spoiled. Almost every chicken & turkey will walk right in the door if it gets left open.
