We have 12 chicks a few different breeds and one breed is 2 female buff orpingtons and today I went down to check on my small runt like female black australorp chick that had pasty butt a few days ago and one of the buffs came over and climbed onto the ledge of the brooder (Our brooder is made out of an old dresser with front opening doors) and stood there, its not the first time one of the buffs has done it but I put my hand under infront of it because the fall would be onto cement flooring and suddenly it stepped off into my hand and stood there so I tried petting its back and it let me. I almost wanted to cry! And after a few moments it actually sat down in my hand and just let me pet it I was sooo happy. Kind of wish one of my 4 black australorps would let me hold it like that but still it was soo sweet having a buff do that. So far its the only one to approach and one of the australorps did let me give it a few pets with my finger before it walked away from me but hey its progress!
