Every day I go out the back door and have to RACE the chickens to the coop. If I'm not careful and walk too slowly at least one or two gets in front of me and under my feet. If I can't beat them there I have to walk in s l o w M o t i o n and watch so carefully where my feet are going. I have kicked or stepped on so many of my poor ladies! The silkie babies are the worst. They'll jump on my foot, midstep!
DH says its a funny thing to watch me speed walking across the yard with a dozen hens fanned out behind me, like they're all chasing me.
Once I've been outside for a while they usually don't mob me and I can go about my business.
I appreciate that they all want to come up and see me, but yeesh! Have some sense not to get stomped on!
(I realize that for the most part, they only love me for my treats, but as long as I'm loved, I'm good.)
Am I extra klutzy, or do others have this problem?
