We have 6 barred rocks, got them at 6 days old. We go in to the the barn and talk to them, they seem to light up when they hear our voices. But when we try to pick them up they all run away and huddle in a corner. We pick them up and cuddle them, but they still act afraid of us. The brooder is a fairly tall. I know they are inbred to be afraid of anything coming at them from above, so we always try to reach them from the side.These are our first chicks ever, they are doing great, eating drinking and growing like weeds.Just want to have happy friendly birds when they grow up.
