He told me that handling chicks stresses them out too much and causes them to have a shorter life span. Our chicks are a week and half old and we feed them treats out of our hands and pick them up for a few minutes every day and talk to them.

A friend of mine advised me that it was a good idea to not to handle chicks, and to only handle them when absolutely necessary. I want my chicks to be people friendly and not be skiddish. Can you handle chicks too much? Any help/advice would be appreciated.

They are growing too fast!

My new babies! Two RIRs (Tic-Tac and Ginger) and two Speckled Sussex (Watermelon and Kiwi). They arrived yesterday.

Thank you all so much! I'm sure I will have lots a questions between now and the time my girls arrive, and probably lots more after they do get here. Mark
