I have just got a beautiful silkie at the last meeting and is scared of me. She is about 3 month's old what do i do?

One word for you: Mealworms!

Hens have two predominant "emotions": Fear and hunger. "Love" is not in their repertoire. But they'll sure respond to food, and learn to associate it with you.

Yes, definitely food, especially treats. One of mine always came when I called "bug,bug,bug",lol. Find out what she likes best.

If have one that is a little skittish, treats and more one-on-one attention works wonders. Carry her around while you feed everybody. Also, talk in a soft, soothing voice... like you would to a baby.
