I like getting my chickens as 1-3 day old chicks, so I can get them used to handling. My two Silkies will even walk on leashes. I can carry them in to town (the town is only a square mile in size, but we live on the edge of town, so by "in town" I mean where all the businesses are at, which is a whole two square blocks) and let them follow behind me as I go from the cafe to the store and whatnot, then carry them back home. People seem to love watching me take my Silkies for walks, and they get lots of petting, attention, and pictures, which they don't mind.

Since it's been cold out (below 40 during the day, don't know exactly what because I don't have a thermometer outside), I haven't been walking them, and people keep asking where that woman is with the chickens on leashes...

Now, if anyone else tries to go into the chicken pen, the chickens keep a good distance from them, except my rooster (Cochin banty), who will attack anyone except me. Renee (Delaware pullet), on the other hand, just wants treats, so she's right under your feet. But she doesn't let anyone but me handle her.

What kind of leash are you using? I would love to see pictures!

I made the leashes out of some baling twine and some small clips I had laying around, since they had to be lightweight. I just use a regular cat harness with them. These are older pics, from a few months ago when it was warmer out.
