I need to do that with my crazy-butt Ameraucanas eventually. You'd think I took an electric prod to them every time I walked by. Maybe when it isn't -17 outside, eh? I worked with them some last fall but they backslid once winter hit and I switched to going outside for 5 minutes twice a day instead of spending hours.If you start feeding them scratch by hand a little each day. Eventually they’ll be comfortable enough around you. If you start around 3 months or so they’ll be up your *ss before long. I have a few hens that will pull on my pant leg as I’m walking by if I don’t give em a handful of scratch. Lol
My White Leghorns do the whole clothes pulling routine. I don't know where they got their repute as being flighty, because I put in exactly zero work trying to tame them. Raising them from chicks seems to be important though, they get a little nutty with strangers. They're wicked smart birds and I'd raise them full time if I was 20° in latitude lower. My ducks are the same way, as are a few of the mutts I haven't sold yet. One of them tries to crawl into my lap when I come in the coop. Another OEG bantam hen thinks my shoulder is the best perch in the world.
