and what if they don't respond...What?
That video states it is fake.Don't always trust YouTube! (Case in point, golden eagle snatches kid.) Anyone in the whole world can put anything on the internet, so use caution when trusting sources like that.
Then you stop trying. Unfortunately, some chickens can't be tamed.and what if they don't respond...
YES!!! <;DIs it something like this? If it is it is natural behavior.

You'd better be...I'll tell OP a story tomorrow. A good long'n.
and what about sitting in my char? One chicken does not really run away from me, well, barelly it does. Anyway the chicken just moves away when i come to cm to her, sometimes... And i touch her for 2 seconds then getting away. I guess, that chicken is half tamed! XDIf you want to get them to be more friendly, time and patience are your friend. I would recommend sitting in the run and reading, answering emails, etc- doing something quiet, and scatter scratch near your feet. When they come, don't move toward them. They'll get used to you if you repeat this process. Then you can start offering treats in your hand or your lap, just sitting there. Repeat this several times. As they get used to that one, continue moving forward with more movement/interaction for each thing that you're doing, and repeating. Soon, they'll be comfortable with you. The holding is the hardest part- once they're used to you, hold them like you're going to pick them up, but keep their feet on the ground. Wait until you can tell that they've calmed down. Repeat this until they're used to it, then you can start picking them up for real.

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.Treats are a way to a chicken's heart. They will do most anything for treats.
