I go and sit in the coop with my 10 week old chicks right around bed time. They have all started to fly up and sit on my back, shoulders and lap. I was so worried they wouldn't be friendly. One of them gets on my shoulder, and hunkers down. She would stay there all night if I let her. I think spending time, hand feeding and talking to them is the key.
That's my barred Plymouth Rock cuddle on my neck/back.
3 of my chicks all chilling on my back.
After less than a week of being home in their new coop, my 8 week old chicks are doing this when I just sit in the coop with them. I talk to them in a low voice and offer them treats. They get a little restless when I stand so I try to stay low to keep them calmer.
sled,
What kind of camera do you have in your coop? I am so tempted to get one to try and monitor them from work!
