Handling them really does help with their behavior.They don't seem quite as skitterish as past chicks. I handle them once a day, and make sure each one is calm, before returning it to the brooder. I also sing to them when no other human being is in the house. It seems to calm them down.
I just know I have 3 little cockerels, and 1 little pullet.
