PippinTheChicken
🧡🤍💙
I just got a new pullet and she's very jumpy. I mean, who wouldn't be? She was picked up and put in a box and is now in a completely new place.
This isn't my first time buying skittish adults. Pippin and Fries were terrified when I got them. But I could catch them and spend time with then because they couldn't fly. However, this new pullet has already flew over me and all over the run!
She has the run to herself and all the other chickens are outside, but I need to get her in her integration pen tomorrow because I won't be home to let them out. I can't even catch her!
The seller said she was friendly, so I know this pullet has the ability to trust me.
I'm currently sitting in the coop watching her roost with a bowl of treats in front of me. If I do this everyday I should gain her trust, right?
Questions:
- What's the best and quickest way to earn a new chicken's trust?
- How do you catch flying chickens?
