I was just wondering if anyone else's chickens do this ....I have 16 glw's and I'll be down at the run and 2 hens in particular follow me everywhere I was outside the fence today looking at them run around and play and these 2 just stay at the fence with me well anyway I wasn't really paying them much attention was focused on the other chickens and one jumped up on top of the fence right in front of me and sat there like it wanted to be held lol so I picked her up gave her some attention and put her back in the run only to have her jump back up on the fence

I have 2 or 3 like that. The one hasn't been herself since she was sick and had to be separated for a few days (Maple). She mostly hangs out on her own now but she used to get very angry and flustered if I started to pet anyone other than her. Half the time I'd have to hold her back so she wouldn't attack whoever I was petting lol. Cleo, my Rhodebar pullet is very affectionate with me. She gets excited when she sees me outside and runs over for some lovins lol. Half the time, I'll be rubbing under her wings and she'll just start to fall over in my hands. She ended up laying completely on her side the one day while I was petting her lol. Miss Penny is the third lovey one that I have. She's actually a 4 year old speckled sussex that I adopted from some neighbors who got rid of all their chickens. She's a tough old girl with seriously twisted toes who pushed her way up to the top of the pecking order in the few months that she's been here. She also comes running anytime she sees me outside to get petted and loved lol.

Anybody have any suggestions on who I should talk to about finding some blue plymouth rocks? My barred rock girls are so smart and sweet, I need more colors! :) Also, hellooo from southeastern PA - Glenmoore area, been lurking quietly for awhile.

Yep, I have one hen who is particularly lovey. Sometimes you just get lucky! She will join me in the hammock if I call her! If I hold her on my lap and I massage her behind her head and on her neck, she will close her eyes and relax. Also, one thing I have never heard of before, if I am sitting or squatting and she is nearby, she will stand behind me and peck/scratch with her beak on my back. I know she's not looking for bugs, because it doesn't matter what I am wearing, she is always trying to get my attention, I think! I have another chicken who was hand raised with the lovey one, and it never likes to be touched or held. She runs away from me all the time. They are all different!
You may have to put her in the close the coops for a week or so until she gets the hang of it. She will come around. They learn pretty fast. :D

I have a few that will peck at me for attention too. It tends to hurt! The one that does it though doesn't like to be touched. I think she's just saying "hey, I'm here" lol

Wanted to post a few pictures of my precious little flock. On a side note after reading about black australorps i think I could potentially have a black jersey giant because I was reading that australorps won't have yellow on the bottom of their feet. 3 are slate colored. The 4th is yellow as the Cochins. And Huey my guinea. I have no clue what sex he/she is

IMO he looks like a New Hampshire Red. Someone on here has them and can confirm or deny, I just can't remember who.

Interesting. When I picked him up, my friend - who got them as chicks from a friend - said she thought New Hampshire Red. Then she sent a text and said Isa Brown. I tend to agree with you.

ISA browns are another name for red sex link, those roos are white with red leakage on the 'shoulder' of the wing.

My husband has a chiroptophobia. I get so bit up from mosquitoes and we have bat houses but refuses to put them up. He doesn't want bats around. He just tells me to spray myself with the poison that doesn't work for me
