Hmm, so I guess I'll have to wait for months too!

Hehe, Hope that it happenes to me too. I can't get any meal worms so I guess I'll have to find something else that they love. Thank you for your advice. It means a lot

My friend has four chicken and they all have different personalities. One of the is so sat and sounds just like yours: nit will come for a treat, but it won't come near us otherwise. Two of them are very friendly and are willing to take a ride on her golf art with us! The last one is somewhere in the middle: she will run away, but if you catch her and hold her, she won't flip out.

I think the best you can do is handle them when they are young and hope for nobody too temperamental!

Good luck!

For the most part, chickens don't seem to be "petlike" pets that seek out human attention. We've gotten our little flock so that they won't flat-out run away from us (most of the time). They did become more docile when they recently started laying although I don't know if that was from being handled more, or from their hormone levels leveling out.

If you want your flock to be more affectionate, don't treat affection like a punishment (holding them firmly and not letting them go, which will stress them out) and instead treat it like a reward. Start by tossing a little scratch near where you are sitting, adding in some stroking and quiet talk to them, letting them come and go, and eventually they will come eat out of your hand and let you pet them. Some might even seek you out, knowing you are the giver of treats. It's classic operant conditioning.
