They will be Debi. We handled our chicks a LOT when they were babies. I'm an at home mom, and I'd take each of them out several times a day just to love on them. When my kids got home, they'd play with them as well. They quickly got to the point that when we'd put our hands on the brooder, they'd all scramble to jump on us to be picked up. The more you handle them, the friendlier they'll be. Enjoy your HUGE batch of babies!!Great pics, Keltara! I hope my Buff Orps will be as friendly as yours!
