Peace, Love & Chickens ✌️
Yeah I don’t think most of them were handled too much before. On Friday night I took the hens and cleaned their dirty vents...I knew I’d be treating for mites Saturday and figured it would be better for the spray to reach their skin not just matted feather. The funny thing is I know they must have been grateful for me doing that because yesterday morning they were more willing to come up to me and then after spraying them yesterday they were still happy to come up to me and now I can pet them (kind of lol).He can have treats.....just most the time walk thru and/or ignore him.
Frequent visits with no treating or treatments or doing anything can help him get used to your presence.
You did good treating him first for mites then the girls....
....they all learned that 'the human can touch us and we won't die'.
I’ll have to do more interactions where I’m not giving treats of some kind and start to walk through him more often. Thanks!
