Welcome. Chickens don't care what you are wearing. They want the treats you are holding in your hand!

Good luck with your flock and have fun...

I am very impressed that you started out by hatching them yourself!

Welcome to Backyard Chickens Nyaiosh. Some folks have even clicker trained chickens.
Also remember a video of a hen performing in a scaled down agility format, like folks with dogs encounter.

That is amazing! I am going to try all of this! One of my professors want me to bring the chickens in when we have our exotics class. So, hopefully I will have them trained by then.

Thank you! It was a very stressful process and I was silly enough to believe they would all hatch and live. But I am glad I did it. It was a great learning experience that I wouldn't trade for anything.

It is also very addicting!

When is the next Hatch?

I can't do another hatch until I have more property. I am at max capacity right now in my backyard with the eight I have sadly. But, once I get more land, I will do it again!

I have seen chickens wearing a harness and leash on BYC, I don't know how well they do walking with it on. I think maybe they are small dog breed harnesses.

Welcome to BYC Nyaiosh! It's so nice to meet you! Congratulations on your new chicks! Keep us updated on how the training goes, one of my grandsons wants to leash train his favorite rooster.
