Hiya Guys!
Just joined up to the forum!
We've got three bantam chicks around 4-5 months of age approx so they are getting to be real ladies and are almost full-grown.
Then yesterday we got two other little ones which are approx. 6 wks of age. They are very small compared to the other chicks but are also bantams, except that they are alot more fancy then are oldest chicks.
Anyway, I was wondering how best I can tame them? I know that you should start handling your chicks a.s.a.p. if you want them tame but these ones are already 6 wks old approx, so how can I best go about it? They can already fly quite well and one of the two is already quite a tom-girl a real escape artist and all that. =)
They had quite a stressful day yesterday with the travelling and one of them escaping twice and of course they are in a different pen now then in their old home.
What treats can I give them? I heard greens aren't very good becaue they can get diarrhoea and may get mucky bottoms which particulary in chicks is a no-no. Are meal worms okay to give the little chicks? Anyway, all advice appreciated! =)
