Can you hold a chick to long?

Agree, holding them frequently is a great way to make them tame. The chicks I spent more time with when young are still friendly adults, a few still enjoy lap time once in while. Just be sure that they do not get chilled.
Enjoy them, they grow so fast!

Thanks! I love chickens so much! I’ll make sure they don’t get chilled

Ok, I have 2 chicks, (my other family members have chicks too so a total of 7) but they hold their chicks a lot, so I have been just holding my 2. I used Cupcake as an example, I probably have been holding my Sapphire Gem (Safaia) the same amount, thanks!

thats good

I miss my chickens ahhh, I go outside and they all come running, I bend over and pick up nel, and give her scritches til she gets squirmy in my arms, then I'll kneel down and watch the other girls peck around me

they are awesome as babies, but psttt I like them better as adults

Hi! So as you may know, I’m pretty new here, but I was wondering if you can hold a baby chick for too long. I always want to hold my chicks, almost all day, but is there such a thing as too long? Cupcake (my Brahma) falls asleep in my hands a lot (she’s so cute!) and if she wakes up and starts peeping I immediately put her back in to make sure she gets food and water (and also if she’s cold) but do they ever start thinking maybe that my hands are boring or maybe annoying? Thanks!
(Sorry it’s so long)

This probably goes along the lines of can you hold a baby to much.... in my opinion, you can't hold a baby or chick to often. Like others have said, it is a great way to tame them.
