Got my first chicks a few weeks ago and it's going great! So well in fact that I am considering getting a few more!
What breeds would you suggest for someone who is definitely going to be heartbroken if the chickens don't learn to love me?
I currently have AmberLinks and Golden Comets. They are doing well and one of the Golden Comets is so quiet and easy to handle (she is the runt) I wish they were all that friendly and trusting. The rest aren't bad and generally settle after a minute and snuggle up to me and fall asleep but STILL take a few seconds to be caught for said bonding time.
I've been sure to not chase or grab but sometimes I still need to sort of slowly corner them. I've been feeding them from my hand so often if I just stick my hand in there one will climb on, but it's not as lovey dovey as I'd like.
So, since I take it personally when my chicks aren't in love with me is there a particular breed I should consider for next time?
