Holding Baby Chicks

[My Very First 6 Chickens]

I put my hands of their wings on the sides of their bodies to pick them up

They are used to my hands now because I have given them a couple grubs and hang out with them often. When all is calm, I go for the scoop! So far I have picked up 3 of the 6 and sat outside of the brooder/playpen so she can see her friends. The first time I held one I was more nervous than the chick
Thank you Pippin

My brooder is a hardware cloth cage I built. It lives in the corner of my shop.
