Most of my hens will stand on my hands and allow me to lift them - only Mary finds it difficult but she's a really big hen. But they hate being grabbed from above, which makes sense because that's how an airborne predator would grab them, so I'm ok with that.Rizo 100%. Mellow as ever to handle.
Em, no. I held her by her wings (holding them down and lifting her up) to take a picture, and oh boy. She hated that. Screamed her lungs off at me and will not come near me. Emily holds grudges, i know that for a fact. She still is mad at Vanilla because he stepped on her foot a few months back. Screams every time he comes in the same area as her.
Emily is pure, and i really want to show her. But she won’t let me do ANYTHING without freaking out, screaming, and ignoring me for days! Showmanship requires holding them in odd positions, lifting them up, etc. She will not have that!
