I have 2 broody-raised cockerels I want to make tame. I read in other threads to put chickens in small individual pens, and get them eating mealworms from your hands. So, I have done that. The next step is to get them used to being touched. The problem is that as soon as I open the pen more than a crack, they bolt. Then I have to chase them down, and then they hate me, and we are back to square one. Even if I put the rooster pen in a fenced area, they keep trying to escape. I tried to put one on a tie cord, but he somehow took it off.
They are asils, so it should not be that hard. what am i doing wrong?
