[ChickenPeep]

Hello, i know this is kinda a weirs Q, but do you know how you can get a chicken to warm up to you? I have this one pullet that i really like, but i don't think she likes me that much!

It's ok if you think this is a weird quistion, it is. I don't even know if this is the right place to post this.
But any ideas?
Thanks!

Mealworms.

Not a weird question at all! Food is always the way to their heart. I still can't get my buff orp to warm up to me though

bribery works wonders! ( and lots of holding and petting and coddling ), oh, and how old is she? I have noticed that once they start laying, they become SUPER sweet and loving.

Chickens are like men...The way to their heart is through their stomach

Give them lots of treats!

Hi ChickenPeep,

I agree that mealworms are the best tool. ;O)

Some breeds, and some chickens are more skittish than others..... So among the things you need, are a lot of time to spend with the chicken in question, and a lot of patience...and a lot of mealworms. (and even then...


good luck with your chicken!

Wow guys! Thanks for the replies!
Kari_dawn, she is only about 4 weeks old!

I do agree with all of you that food is best. The only thing is, at this age, they don't really know the great joys of food yet!

They don't seem to care about mealwors yet, as i've tried it before.
Maybe in a few more weeks!
One again thanks for the advice and i will try everythiing on my stubborn little girl! Here she is!
