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
i would but i have to catch her first as she is a fast mover ;D but i don't think she would let me pick her up :(

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