I am so in love! I already have a favorite! This little stinker is so independent and charismatic!

They're all a little flighty, the drive home stressed them, but they are getting used to me and eat out of my hand.

Oh I am! They're getting used to me because I keep going to visit them lol they will either love me or be sick of me!
 
Quote: LOL....the more time you spend with them, the closer they bond to you. I like to get them out on the living room floor. (lay an old sheet down to catch the poop) They will instinctually stay on your lap since they will be a bit afraid. But this really bonds them to you as you are momma. Of course eventually they get the nerve to get off your lap, but I find that doing this for 10 mins a day really trains them to be good lap sitters! And of course this field trip breaks up boredom in the brooder.

Just be careful if you do get them out on the floor that all dogs and little kids aren't going to step on them or eat them.

the only dog is a LGD Pyrenees puppy who is bonding with them so no worries there

I will try the living room field trip. Great idea! Thanks for the tip!
 
We had living room time and Harrah, our Great Pyrenees lived up to their reputation. The chicks hid under her for warmth.

The chicks got plenty of love and attention.

They ended up a little wet from all the kisses, she gave them each a bath.

They liked to perch on her legs

and when they wandered around she herded them gently until they were together again

Really nice pictures of the puppy/chick, looks like the Pyr is going to be a great watcher for the chicks!
