Dumb q: Is it bad to boop a beak?
I've been the primary Chicken Tender for my family for a bit, and as such, the girls like me and are relatively chill with me. I've been giving them gentle Beak Boops (Just a soft tap), and they seem pretty fine with it! Today, tho, I gave Mountain a boop, and she just stared ahead without reacting, then made a new noise. She didn't seem overly upset!
But it reminded me of the "chicken hypnotism" thing, and when I looked that up, apparently its a fear response?? So, now I'm worried I've been terrorizing the babies ><
Anyone have any insight or thoughts? Thank you!
