Can older hens be lap chickens?

[SnowyClucks]

Pretty much what the title says, can older pullets (13 weeks and older) become lap chickens? I’m going to get 13 week old silkies since vaccinated day olds are not available where I am, which is unfortunate since I’m missing out on that useful time window when they are chicks… If they can be tamed what can I do to hopefully bring up a friendly hen?

It's more up to the individual bird, just a lot of trust gaining exercise like sitting around them.
