Chirping
Tonight I gave the two week old babies a treat. Boiled egg white, crushed, and held in a open hand in the brooder. It took about 5 minutes, but one of the Barred Rocks finally got brave enough and snagged a bit. Within a couple minutes I had several taking directly from my hand, with lots of chasing and chirping. Should I be doing this? I want the girls when they grow up to see me and think"oh boy, treats!!", not "Oh crud, RUN!".........
