Hey BYC, I’ve got a couple questions. I just had to swap my cockerel out for a pullet. She’s being quarantined. The problem is she, along with the rest of the chickens at the farm I got her at, don’t particularly like human touch. She looks to be about 9-10 weeks old, an ISA brown & leghorn mix. I got my two other chickens from the same farm when they were chicks, so they’re at least a little more tolerating. My research has concluded that ISA browns like the cuddles, but that is certainly not my case. I suppose it’s because the farm didn’t treat them like “pets” but rather as typical livestock. What should I do to have the new pullet used to me? I want to be able to pick her up from time to time without having her scream at me. She won’t even eat out of my hand. Also, she’s restless being quarantined in a cage, but I don’t have space to quarantine her anywhere else. Any advice is appreciated!
