But then the neighbors won't get any entertainment.![]()
Nope.. I come bearing treats in a corner for my one 'no touchy' girl. She's getting better about not spooking or staying away when I'm near, but still does not like to be touched.Neighbors think Im crazy whenever I chase the chickens tryin to catch them, bannies are the hardest lol![]()
That is plenty of space for 2 hensso the fat chickens that need exercise have been stuck in a small place where they canāt exercise?
nothing. they donāt speak english.
They donāt like me very much, so I can chase them all over the yard, when they are moving better, to get them some exercise. Wouldnāt hurt me either!![]()
If they get out you gotta get them sooner than later, if you wait til night youll need a 30 foot ladder to get them outta thier roost in the treesNo chasing required, just pick them from the roost at night.![]()
Sounds like a good idea on a smaller operationNope.. I come bearing treats in a corner for my one 'no touchy' girl. She's getting better about not spooking or staying away when I'm near, but still does not like to be touched.
Better and easier to use treat motivation to your advantage. Mix it up and don't offer them treats every time too. In psychological studies, this sort of random reward training actually gives better results than a treat every time. - it's why gambling is so effective.
If there's the possibility of a treat, they'll put more effort in, even if they strut away with an empty tummy in the end.
Get a treat bucket or treat call worked out - saves so much hassle. Less time put into chasing chooks when you make them come to you.
Same as kids "this hurts me more than it hurts you"That sucks. What am I going to tell the adorable things when they swarm me and jump up and down for treats??
As might the chicken exerciser!I would strongly advise against this, as they might get a stress-induced heart attack.
....but chasing chickens from the bottom of the paddock back to the barn is such good exercise! My crew won't even come for treats when the great outdoors is theirs to explore haha!Nope..

This is my āfatā girl, Dionne Warwick. She looks fatter in person, but sheās got the ideal keel and is a healthy weightā sheās just a Rhode Island Red. She actually weighs less than my Red Star.
