Ladies who pop the squat

[solidsnake]

My chickens HATE being touched or grabbed, ever since they were babies, but they're oh so soft it felt so sad to leave those fluffy feathers alone. But suddenly yesterday my chicken squat when I came up to her and now I can pet her all I want! She's the cutest thing when she does it I feel like a proud mom (though she might think I'm a rooster? oh well). If you have any vids or pics of your chickens doing something cute I'd love to see it!

Did you know this means she is getting close to laying!?!?! Exciting days ahead. My chickens (for the most part) definitely calmed down a bit and are easier to catch now that they lay.

The chickens I tend to are super friendly all the time, though some of the not so friendly ones feel more like an accomplishment when they let you touch and fluff them. We'll ignore the one who sits on my shoulder and thinks she's a parrot...she doesn't want to be touched she just wants to be on the shoulder.

edit:

also super pretty lady there <3
