Show off your Peas!

Quote:
well then I shall treat them asap...good time to spend some time out there and look into their poo...that's where im going to start....This Thursday im finishing worming the three new ib peas so I will do them that day...not taking chances....thanks for the info...you think it would be better to do at dark when they are roosting and more calm so I don't stress them to much
 
Finally Colbolt and Sage have began to eat out of my hand and I finally got it on video.

That's great, congrats on the bonding!! The boy (Cobalt?) doesn't seem to be afraid of you much at all! And what pretty peas they are, too, love those crowns

Just remember they can turn into dirty beggars if they learn you have treats

That's already Colbolt. When I open the door he's pacing wanting something, but he would wait for me to drop it but now he does what that little boy does. The hen gets curious but she still watches me carefully.

It's a good feeling, yes? Love it when the birds get excited to see me XD

It's interesting, because out in the pen, I used to have a girl who had been hand raised and she'd run right up for treats and head scritches. I picked up a younger girl who was afraid of me, but instead of watching ME, she watched the older hen, and copied her behavior... she is the only one who's ever done that though. She copied everything Osiris did, including coming right up to me as soon as Osiris did- but ONLY if Osiris did.
 
When I raised up three Spalding whites I ended up with two peahens and one peacock. I sold the friendliest of the two Spalding white sisters. She was very friendly. She would run up to me and grab treats from my hand enthusiastically. Her sister, Shyanne, was always shy hence the name. She didn't like to get near me. Once I sold her sister, she quickly took her sister's place in being very friendly and outgoing. I always found that interesting.

What I will never understand is Alto, who I got as a yearling peacock, let me and Aaron pet him one day when he was up on a perch. We had just fed him his favorite treat - tomato - and he lowered his head and let us pet him just like Peep would do. We double checked that it was in fact Alto, and it was! He has never let us do that again the darn peacock. He enjoyed being pet too so I don't see what the problem is.

I love it when the other peas watch me pet Peep because I hope that someday they will decide to let me pet them, but so far it isn't working!

That's the way my BS hen is. She is imprinted on me and it rubs off to a certain extent on the other opens!

My Golden Cochin hen I think is what made Colbolt and Sage begin eating from my hand. When I would bring the feed in she would be the first in the food and then after Colbolt would join and kick her out and then Sage would join. Colbolt and Sage push the hen away but if I hand feed she gets first bite since she imprinted on me since she was a chick I've had her so she's trusted me so she taught them to trust me.
