Help with these frizzles please

[Grammy D]

Well I am unsure on breed BUT for getting them friendly that part is pretty easy (just takes time). I always talk to them telling mine (and the ones I've worked with) what I'm doing and ask them (they never answer me in human of course) if they want something. I start with offering treats. You can be bold and just crouch down (or kneel) and hold a hand with treats low and out. May take a loooong time but they may get brave and eat it. If they don't seem ready just carefully sprinkle them and lean back. Stay and hang around while they eat. Chat and they will be a bit better. If they're skittish it can be hard to make them lap pets but it's possible that they will warm up and you'll have them hanging around your feet or talking to you. It's getting the association that good things come from you. I pick up two different ways I clasp the wings and lift (whole body wrap) then tuck them under my arm so they are close and feel secure. I will also let them roost on my arm. They are who they are but time and patience you will hear the cute coo chat directed at you. They're super cute chicks though

Perfect. I have already put a stool in the run. I do have time to spend with them. Only thing so far is that they like to peck at my legs. I have to be careful since it's still shorts weather. Thank you for your response!

Oh joy! Looks like I am being tested once again. So, probably all cockerels. At least knowing the breed will help me figure things out AND I can name them.

One thing is that you never want to breed two frizzles together.

Yeah they can get curious. I had one that thought my freckle on my leg was a bug and tried to get it off for me as a hatchling. It's now a lap pullet that comes to sit tell me all about what happened then runs off to get more gossip. They peck every once in awhile to pluck things off and given your leg is new they're curious as to what you are and what each area and spot is. You can gently shoo them (I just scoot them a little with my palm softly and they move on), I'd say it's good they feel they can approach you though

Thank you! I did read that it can produce a frazzle which to me seems unkind.
