I need help also. I am new to chicken and have bought some baby chicks with the fuzz still on them. i like giving them attention but my neighbors say you should not hold them if they have fuzz. they say an oil on the fuzz will be removed by your hands and this can make the baby chicks die is this true???????????

Please Help!!!

thanks alot
