Has anyone had luck with socializing older unhandled chicks?
I recently got two EE pullets from a lady who was starting an egg business and ended up getting a few birds that she didn't order. So these guys were raised in a shed with I'd say probably 300 black sex links and have never been handled prior to being caught out of the herd. They're quite understandably -terrified- of being handled/around people and acted like I was trying to murder them when I put some water in their cage.
