My flock wont let me touch them

[Hedgeland Farms]

I think a lot has to do with your demeanor, body language and general emotions they sense. I did not hold my chickens when they were little, I don't feed them treats out of my hand (rarely even get treats) and I don't try to pet them or pick them up unless I have to. You would think my chickens run away from me right? Nope. If I sit out in the grass guess who comes running over to me? If I sit in a lawn chair I have chickens pulling at my shoe laces and sitting under my chair. If I squat down to grab something and look up I have an audience. They have access to food 24/7 and free range most of the day they don't equate me showing up with food either. Some days I wish they liked me less because I'm already clumsy enough without having to trip over chickens.

That's so awesome for you and your flock!

Mine will peck at my shoes, and come running to me when I enter their run, (this was prior to treats as I just started giving them at 15wks) they come up to me when I sit down etc... just don't don't them lol...
