Why is my chicken crouching when i come?

[tiho_prskalo]

We're trying to get OP to understand that if a chicken doesn't respond to treats and hates being picked up, to just quit trying to force human emotions on the chicken.

or just sit with them...

Then you stop trying. Unfortunately, some chickens can't be tamed.

Can't be true... It can, sit with them...

It is true. I'm sorry, but you need to accept that. I'm not trying to be rude, but there's 15 pages of this thread of people telling you that. I wish it wasn't like that, but it is.

I'm not sure if someone said this but chickens will also crouch to get low and flat to the ground. This helps them hide from large birds like hawks that may try to pick them up. If they only crouch when you come near, yes, they are probably taking you as their rooster. I have six hens and only one of them ever does this.

Wrong! Many people have told me that i can tame by somehow sitting with them with threads etc...



and also go on other forums to see it (others, not mine) or by searching how do i tame my chickens (same)

I had six or seven hens a very very very ago than you think when i was too small. I am rooster, but they run away from me but not like always. I just come slowly to them and they do not run away from me

You can 'tame' MANY chickens by sitting with them for long periods of time, but I doubt that they'll ever become true lap chickens if you didn't socialize them as chicks, and even then, some chickens JUST DON"T LIKE SNUGGLES. Just like how some dogs don't and some cats don't.
