Just got started with baby chicks after wanting them for decades! We got 12 total of several breeds ranging from a week to 4 weeks old. They're all supposed to be pullets but we shall see. I'm a little suspicious of a couple of them. We can't have roosters here so hopefully I'm wrong. My main problem now is getting them to not be scared of me!!

Hello, and welcome to BYC. Do not approach them from above. As prey animals they are scared of danger from above. Feed is the great taming device.

I sat with them with their food in my hands and a few of them pecked at it, but most were not interested. So I decided to up the ante and got them some mini mealworms, some greens, and some chia seeds to try. And chick grit of course! Tomorrow hopefully they'll be more interested!!
