I've carried a stick in the pen with me...my little bantams think they're 10 feet tall. I made one of the fly....they have nubs thus far. Hubby says they're outta here if they try it with him.....I like them and all but I don't like it when they think I'm fair game.
ETA to add that I do try to pick them up when they're acting like buttheads but they run away and squawk.....Hubby is able to get them every time so they respect him more. Me? I'm an "intruder". At night I pick them up and hold them though
