    Cuddling my chicks: Is it caring or cruel?

    Everyday I pick up my now 4 week old chicks and cuddle them, but I don't know if I should be. At first they were supposed to be livestock but now they are more like pet livestock. It was my first group of chicks I'd had to have in a brooder (all my others were old enough to live in the coop when...
