I’m at my parents’ house for the summer, and they just adopted about 18 chickens from someone a coworker. They’re at work during most of the day, so I have to feed and water them, as well as collect the eggs until the afternoon.

I was wondering, will being in close proximity to chickens make handling more difficult by activating my BP’s feeding response?
I have to actually go into their enclosure to do the daily chores, but I don’t directly handle them, only their food and water receptacles.

If you’ve seen my other thread in BP Husbandry, you’ll know that I’ve had problems with her trying to eat my hands already, so I’d like to know if you think this will make things worse, and perhaps if there are any precautions I can take.
