Speckles has a slight change of habit

Emerald always jumps on the inner gate when I open the outer gate to the run and Speckles would jump on me as I went through the gate. Speckles has now developed a slight change in her habit. She too jumps on the inner gate (if Emerald can do this then so can she!) and then she jumps from the gate to me.

I have no worry that she will jump from the gate to outside the run. I simply turn my back to her and on she jumps every time.

You can see her looking at me ready to make her move.

These funny girls, they do make me smile.

    I think it is lovely how they interact with you.

    • I love it too. Chickens are prey animals and don’t like being picked up. I can pick them up but they just tolerate it, but when they jump on me I know that that means they really want to interact with me. It is worth the dusty footprints to have them interact with me.

    You are right about them not wanting to be picked up .. Three years on and I have still not had Bluebell any where near me .
