It's funny isn't it, how we all have the same breeds who act so differently. And we all have different ones who attach themselves to us! I have an Araucana who is the sweetest thing and will jump up on my lap and if I squat down she'll jump up on my shoulder, and I didn't do anything different with her, in fact she was in the same brood as my Silkies. They just have their own characters I guess. Love chickens! I'm just about to go to work! But I'd rather stay in the chicken coop!!!My polish is just the opposite, she chases me down wanting loved on. My silkies are my babies too. They all come running when I call “hey babies”. What I did was after the first week, 7-8 times a day, reach my hand in the brooder with food in hand. That’s the only food that I put in there after the first week. During the first week I would just set my hand in the brooder, palm up, and leave it there not moving for about 5 min. 4-5 times a day. Like dogs, patience and repetition.
