Hello from Jerseyville Illinois

[Angiesgirls]

My name is Angie and I have four backyard girls, approximatley 7-9 weeks of age. I handled them a lot when they were small and inside, however now they are in a coop and they act as if I were a CAT!!! I talk to them, take them treats and attempt to hold them however they act if I had fur and a tail!! What can I do??

Greetings from Kansas, Angiesgirls, and

! Pleased you joined our community! I think just a little time and patience, slow movements, and a soft voice. Keep up with the treats - they'll come around. Good luck to you!

I always call "here, chick chick chick" and throw treats for my guys. Usually within a few days they come running when I call. I don't handle them much though.

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

They may just be going through a silly teenage phase - very likely once they settle into their new home they will become more social. Treats are a good idea!

when they reach 'point of lay' you may find them to be mellow
