I have had a lot of luck in gaining chickens' trust by bribing them with mealworm treats!Thanks, Swamphiker!! I am super happy to have my girls. I've anted chickens again for a long time, but I was not in an area that I felt I could give them a good enough life. But now, I think we can so I got what our area set as the limit. Plus 8 is more then enough for two of us. Right now I am just trying to get them to understand that I am a safe person and they can trust me. I have been able to hold and love on two of them with a little regularity so far. And finally figured out names for each of them!! So I am pretty excited ... as I am sure my reply has indicated.
