How can i get my new hen (Wyandotte) to be accustomed of me and let me hold her ?

Mine chickens LOVE dried meal worms. I call it chicken crack. They will come when they're called, follow me around the yard etc. All I do is say, "come on girls" and shake the meal worm bag and they'll come running. Some will let me pick them up, pet them etc. They all have different personalities.

Time and treats. Sit and talk to her and in the evenings, when she's roosting, go visit with her, talk to her and scratch the bottom of her crop (it's my chickens' sweet spot). Do this for a few days and she should start warming up to you, but be patient.
 
Lovely hen! My spoiled girls love grapes! Two of three like me to pet them and I can pick them up; the third, not yet.
