Lil is my smallest chicken and she is very timid and she still wont let me pick her up (that's when i can catch her god shes fast) she will eat out of my hand but no more than that how can i win her round??? if i try and pick her up she makes such a fuss and i don't like to think I'm the cause of her upset and when i go near the run she either goes back inside the house or  hides behind the others any ideas ????

the best thing to do is just to spend time with her:) and when u pick her just give her lots of strokes, she will come round

Get a garden cane and touch her on her back then just pick her up. Has an old Townie got to teach you everything.
