For some reason I keep singing this to myself to the tune of "I am the walrus".
So - my question is about chickens squatting for me now that they've started to lay. All but one of them were very standoffish til now, but now I'm enjoying the fact that all six cluster around me and squat and let me pet them. Yes, I know they think I'm mating with them and that is, perhaps, a bit gross. But they are so soft and fluffy!!!
My question is whether this behavior is likely to continue, or if it's just an early spring hormonal thing. Should I be taking advantage of this opportunity to handle them like crazy, in hopes that they continue being more friendly in the future?
