How can i tame my three bantams who are in a pen. i raised them from babies but they are flighty. how can i tame them before 4h starts?
 
Try bribery. Treats, treats, and more treats, all from your hand. Mealworms and crickets are good high-protein snacks. Gently attempting to touch/pet them as they're eating the treat. Some banties are just flighty, though, they may never tame down like some of the more docile breeds would.
 
yep! bribe them w/ treats and handle them as much as possible!
I am in 4H too, my next show is the 13th!!! My banty is flighty too so I just try and work with her as much as possible. I've trained her so that when she gets antsy, I just put my hand over her head for like 3 seconds and she calms down! Maybe you could try something similar...
Good Luck!
