I just started working with chickens in march. I raised them from chicks and began giving them live meal worms (I had two lizards at the time) along with a few crickets when they were old enough. This gave them the taste for insects. Later, I bought dried meal worms (live ar expensive) and use those for treats. My chickens literall run after and follow you now because I trained them to come when called/jump up on me using mainly meal worms. They love them!

Lovely little video, thanks for sharing it. I got my first chickens yesterday and I'm currently in the process of trying to befriend them, this has given me some ideas.

This is a riot Amy! I love chickens and when we were *allowed* to have them in the city limits, they were my trained pets. You are so my kindred spirit! Love you work!
