You may think of chickens more as farm animals raised for eggs than as tameable pets, but with a little patience and love, they can be both! The easiest way to tame a chicken is to start handling it when it is a chick right after you bring it home from a breeder, but with a little work, you can tame older chickens as well. As with more common pets like dogs and cats, the way to a chicken’s heart is through food. Spend time with your chickens and feed them plenty of treats from your hand, and over time they will become tame and will love you. Check out the tips below to learn how you can tame a chicken so that it loves being handled and hand-fed.
