My older hens are great. I spent a lot of time with him when they were younger chicks and so now I am able to handle them more.
My new set of chicks I had no time. I barely held them. They won’t even let me come near them. Will they ever warm up to me ?
 
Mine were the same way, I hardly interacted with them until they were 12 weeks old. I started feeding them on the ground and sat right next to the pile until they were done, within 2 weeks they would fly up from the ground onto my shoulder or head to eat out of my hands. Now they are 8 months old and act like dogs when they see me, they are so tame it’s hilarious. If you work with yours with food then they will be fine.
