Bonding with chicks?

[AnnaLK]

So, I finally got them! Last Saturday we got our first chickens. The feed store canceled one of the breeds I wanted, so I ended up with two Buff Orpingtons, a Silver Laced Wyandotte that we're calling Snips (my three year old nephew named her), and an Americauna (which is actually, probably, an Easter Egger, after doing some research), who is named Nickel.
Anyways, the Wyandotte and EE are about 2-3 weeks old, while the BOs are now a week old as of today.
The BOs are very friendly, and got used to me pretty fast. They hardly ever run away, and will even eat from my hand. The EE gets a little flightly, but calms down once you're holding her, and almost fell asleep in my hands today!
The Wyandotte, on the other hand, is super skittish.
I've been handling her and the others every day, taken her out in the yard, and everything that I could think of.
Is this just how Wyandottes are or is it just because she's still kinda young? Will it just take more work? Any tips or methods that have been successful?

My wyandotte was the most scared one of all until around the 2nd year. Now she is the one that comes up and chats away with me lol. just keep at it. Treats also help. Like mill worms. But just a little. You want her to eat her regular feed for her health.

Our Wyandottes have always been more skittish, and they do not seem to like being held. They will come up and let us pet them in the run now, at 21 weeks old.

When handling them, do not do it so much, at least when it comes to grabbing them. My handling can involve infrequent touching their flanks / wings with the back of my hand. Treats such as live meal worms can get them motivated it initiate contact with you.
