How to calm/tame wild and i do mean wild chickens

[JacinLarkwell]

If you have a regular bowl, preferably nothing clear, you can fillit with water and they should figure it out

Received 2 new 8-9 week old chicks. They were broodied by mama hen, and very little interaction with people. Where do I start? They don't know what a waterer is and have never eaten crumbles. While isolated, how long before I start trying to tame? What do I feed til they start eating chicken feed? Help-I'm lost-also they do not know what a fence/pen is. They are panicking, trying to get out.help?

Todat was better. They are not climbing the walls and hanging from the ceiling today, unless I walk up to pen, then they climb the walls.

This guy same breed, but different color. About same age too. You can get your pullets to same point quickly, but you need to adjust how you approach them so you do not stress them out.

You have a beautiful bird. Now I know what they will look like after they fill out. Thank you!
How do I adjust my approach? I move slow, old Texan everything I do is slow, I always talk to girls as I go out to pens, let them know I'm on my way and not startle them.
Whay are your suggestionsm

To tame, confine them in an elevated location and restrict their view of surroundings with sheet or something on top and all sides. Be considerate of heat stress. Make so there is only a smallish hole they can look out to see you. Present feed in small amounts through that hole. Once they start coming to hole to get food, then start opening the hole a little after each feeding. Feed small amounts. You want them to eat out of your hand early in the process. More steps after.
