A couple of weeks ago I started hand feeding my chicks in order to tame them a little. They are now 10 weeks old and it is starting to hurt! They do come up to me if I go sit out in the grass but the silliest one, Dotty has started nipping at me. She is very curious and it is not a malicious kind of nip but I don't really like it and I don't want her to hurt my kids.
Is handfeeding a bad idea? What is a good way to make them friendlier and more approachable without encouraging biting?
Thanks for any suggestions!
