well I been petting my brahma and picking her up now that she is squatting,I just went out to see what they were up to and reached down for my andalusian who has never squatted, but has been laying eggs for more then a month, she squatted and let me pick her up and pet her with no fuss, I sat down on the bench with her in my lap scratching her head and the brahma flew up on my knee for a bit of an ear scratch too, I'm so happy I thought I was always going to have standoffish birds, but yippee.
