WARNING NOT ABOUT SILKIES

Hey so I had a question but don't know where to post it and this is my most active thread so i thought id pos it here if there is somewhere else i should post it direct me there please

So we are kinda new to chicken raising and we have had some for about 6 month (will be laying any day ! ) and those three are veryy friendly and will run up to you even hop on my should and arms sometimes ! But we recently got some new chickens who were already 7 months old and are very skittish and afraid of us. Im sure some of it is just being in the new place but i want to do everything i can to make them calm and just as friendly as the first bunch. So im really asking for suggestions as to how to make them more and more friendly ? And i was wondering do your chickens keep getting friendlier the longer and longer you have them ? Any suggestions are appreciated thanks

. Hold them hold them hold them all the time as much as possible!!! Even if you just walking around your house out in the yard or even watching tv hold them love them cuddle them n feed the fresh veggies as well as fruits!

With a paint the colour goes all the way down to the skin. With splash the colour will only be at the tips of the feather or half way down.

I was hoping it was this site and not my computer. I hope they get it fixed soon.
