Hi everyone. I adopted a bunch of Bantams of various ages. They are all extremely scared of me. I don't think they have ever been handled before. I'm wondering how long before they learn to trust me? One of them screams and screams every time I pick her up. When I walk up to them, they run and hide in the coop. I'm not sure if I should be handling them to make them know who I am and trust me, or if doing that will only make it worse. What's the proper way to help them adjust to me and start to like me?
