Chick Bonding

[pixieschickens]

Any ideas on how to bond with my chicks? They’re still quite skittish at 4 weeks old

Most of mine are 3 weeks - I put food in my hand and feed whoever wants to come get it. Some of them will sit in my hand or crawl up my arm and keep eating from hand.
SInce I'm at home I can go do that every other hour and they get used to me.

What breed are they? Some breeds are more skittish than others. I would just go in there multiple times a day and sit with them and interact with them.

Mine are close to 3wks and pretty friendly. They will go nuts for meal worms as a treat. Just keep spending time with them and they will run to you!
