[QUOTE="THAT Gurl, post: 4086850, member: 45551"] Look at THAT grin!! 🤗🤗🤗 Those chickens will be spoilt rotten! Lol The 3 youngest ones I have (they are completely feathered out and laying now so they are NOT babies by any stretch of the imagination) will: 1. Come running at me from the depths of the backyard like a damned cartoon chicken! All I have to do is holler "Herechickchickchickchick!!" Sometimes I don't even have to do that. If they year the door open or shut, they come running. If they hear Dawg's claws click on the concrete, they come running. 🤷 2. All 3 of them "need" to be petted at the very least. A couple of them insist (like jumping up and pecking at my legs "insist") on being picked up and held and talked to. They literally cock their heads around and look at me like they understand every damned word I'm saying. 🤷 3. Will run up to Dawg and the kittens, if they come out with me, and stick their beaks up whoever's ass ... 🤷🤷🤦🤦🤦 I guess they learned it from Dawg and Harvey (the black and white cat) when they were little baby chicks and Dawg would try to inhale them. Harvey always had his nose up their asses, too. 🤷 4. Will squawk at me and carry on like banshees until they get their "treat". And NO! You cannot fool them with a handful of pellets. It has to be scratch ... Or mealworms ... Or canned veggies that were refrigerated overnight. They LOVE that stuff right now. I dunno what to tell you. My critters, not a single one of them, have ever been normal. Last night, for instance, Miss Priss used me and Grumpy for trampolines. Boing boing boing boing back and forth off each of us. 🤷🤷🤷 I looked at the clock. It was 4:30 ... A.M. ... In the morning!! THE DARK MORNING!! When everyone else is asleep!!! 😖😖😖 It's like having a houseful of kids ... What do you do?? Lol [/QUOTE]
