Made a new chicken game!

[TinyRaptorDodos]

I came up with a game for my chicks and I, it’s really to test how much they trust you, what you do is you put a hand on their back and gently push them down then put a hand in front of their face, wait a bit, take your hand off then see if they stay, if they stay then they trust you, if they try to run, or struggle in the process of laying them down, then they’re either anxiety birds or don’t trust you.

Sounds more like a training method for cockerels.

Oh yeah, might work for that too, I’ve actually only had one rooster before and he’s still a very small chick.

They're cute too. They look like Cuckoo Marans almost. But he's single Barred so he's a mix.​

Really? I was told the four I got were cuckoo Marans but they could’ve been wrong, I only have one mixed breed (my only full grown hen), it’d be nice to have more

Still could be Cuckoo Marans, just not used to the sloppy Barred pattern, & smudginess.

I looked them up and the look the same as the few days old, I hope they are mixed, maybe. If they’re not I’ll still be just as happy if they’re Marans
