I scared my chickens

[Sherri1990]

Yes they will, don’t worry too much Animals can detect emotions so if you’re stressed they’ll feed off that too.

Oh then I’m sure they are feeling it. I’m so upset.

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to get you more upset. They will be fine. Its a temporary thing, like if I go to the chix all angry about something they’re going to avoid me. But they return to normal.

Thank you. I’m so frustrated. I worked so hard to get them to trust me. Now they act like I’m trying to hurt them.

Don't worry! Over time they'll trust you again. I bet it won't take very long! They will go in on their own. Mine are usually in at around 8:00 P.M.

It’s okay. You didn’t get me more upset. I just really want to be good at this and I worked everyday for hours with them. It only took one loud noise to undo all that time. I can only imagine how they feel with me chasing them. Do you think this will be back to normal in a couple days?

Definitely. They'll be fine. Sit in a chair in the run and read a book with some treats at your feet. They'll forget all about this and love you again.

What are the odds that they don’t? I couldn’t go to bed knowing I have a rouge chicken out there.

i think they’ll be fine in the morning actually. They’ll be back to their normal chickie business

Ok. I can’t believe my chickens hurt my feelings lol.

Yeah, chickens run on their stomachs. If you have treats near by, they will quickly get over fear to get the snacks.

I normally let them out at 7:15. Should I keep them in a little later? Would this help at all?
