In this article, I want to share with you a bit of what I&rsquo;ve found out about how they interact with us humans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chickens can show affection towards humans in various ways, such as following them around, running towards them, and enjoying being petted or held. These social birds can form bonds with humans, especially when consistently handled gently and fed treats, recognizing them as a source of care and food.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with any animal, or humans for that matter, how affectionate a chicken can be towards a human really does depend on the individual chicken and how much time they spend interacting with humans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read on to find out more about how chickens can show affection towards humans and how you can bond and interact with your flock to make them more affectionate towards you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just to let you know before we start, we sometimes recommend products which we feel might be helpful for a particular topic.

Our hens are free-range and there&rsquo;s always one or two who just spends the day alone grazing while the others always stick together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&rsquo;ve also had hens who have been more interested in humans that chickens and one in particular who followed me everywhere, sat with me outside and had no interest in the flock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Get Your Chickens to be More Affectionate Towards You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth is here, there is no way to get them to show affection towards you because it&rsquo;s really down to that individual chicken or chickens becoming that little bit more affectionate than the others and choosing to spend time with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like I said above, there will always be that chicken who has no interest in spending time with other chickens, let alone humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there are things you can do to help to create more of a bond between you and your chickens which ultimately can lead to them being more affectionate towards you as their owner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are just some techniques which you can use to bond with your chickens, which can help to increase their affection towards you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Talk to your chickens<\/strong>&ndash; chickens communicate using various sounds so talking to them is a great way to start interacting with them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sit down with them <\/strong>&ndash; letting them get used to you at their level and allowing them to come to you on their terms is a good way to build trust.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Don&rsquo;t handle them if they don&rsquo;t like it<\/strong> &ndash; you can still bond with a chicken even if they don&rsquo;t like being handled, take things slowly to begin with and build up their trust.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Treat your chickens<\/strong> &ndash; an occasional healthy treat such as dried corn and certain types of veg will help to win them over (see below for more information on treats).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The article below goes into much more detail on how to bond with your

For Chickens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re going to treat your chickens it&rsquo;s important to make sure it&rsquo;s something which will be good for them and not something which is going to make them ill. <\/p><p><i>This article was first published on February 14, 2021 by Pentagon-Pets.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While treating is a well-meaning gesture, there are some foods which we eat that could
