Scaredy chickens......

[trulefty]

I scared the beegeesus out of the girls this morning!! It was cold when I went to let them out and I had on a carhart jacket with the hood up. I stand outside and open the coop door and they come screaming and flying out!!!!! One stayed in and and continued to holler and the others ran and hid!!!! I guess it must have been the hood......

Stupid chickens........ two didn't lay today....

I've raised one of my hens by hand from a young chick, and the other from about 12 weeks - and they are both very timid and run away if you try and go near them. The rooster I had (which I raised with the hen), was very tame and would sit on your lap and take food from your hand (and try to take it from your mouth if not careful!)

I hope they get over it... soon.... they are about 21 weeks now, but not laying

Never know how chickens will react! Cute story!

Mine actually seemed unusually calm when I wore my puffy insulated camo bibs. Maybe they just couldn't see me?

mine act really scared when they see me with a hood on too! So now I try to go around them more often with a hood on so they can get used to it. (especially now that it's freezing).
It is funny how they react to different things!

if I don't wear a baseball cap my rooster will stalk me.
