I have 4 EE pullets that are about 4 months old, I want to be able to hold/pet them but they are still very skiddish. WELL! That seemed to change last week when we had a bad storm come through and they didn't make it back in the coop. I opened the kitchen door and they happily came inside and my favorite, Paloama, hopped right up on the counter and them my SHOULDER and just stayed there to snuggle with me ... made my day!
