I was moved and inpresssed by the work put into this coop! I also learned a few tricks for my own chickens. You must really care about your flock. Best coop I've ever seen!
Cool!
How did you try to train them out of it?
I have tried, but I don’t think my work was ever successful.
So either I accept it as a quirk or accept it as soup.
I basically walk “through” them, quickly grab them or grab at them if they get too close to me, and chase them or pick them up if they’re acting too cocky (I only do all this if they’re actually showing aggressive behaviors). The ones I can train are usually cockerels who nip at my hands and boots. If they’re aggressive enough to try spurring me, I’ve found I usually can’t do anything about it
