My pekins are skittish, but I got them as adults. My runners are the same. The muscovies I can walk right over & pick up usually but they were younger when I got them & had been well handled. We have babies in the brooder that are handled constantly & the babies we raised last year were pretty calm as well. My call ducks I can usually pick right up as well, but they are in a smaller pen & can't get away as easy. I just don't give my babies a choice. They get used to me whether they want to or not. Plus the kids cart them everywhere.

This is the best price I have found so far and I had plenty left over.

Thanks I'm going to need something once we get the fence up.
How many chickens do you have in that area? That's roughly the size we are going to do. Have 14 chicks and 8 ducklings now. Wont be stopping either. My husband wants 2 geese as well among other things lol.
