Hi all,
I have recently gotten two new hens from a poultry market (Silkie hen - 4 months, Seabright hen - 4 months) and am looking for advice on how to make them friendlier. Since we have gotten them home they have been very scared of us and will not let us anywhere near them. We have tried sitting outside while they roam to allow them to get more comfortable with us but it doesn't seem to be working. Should I be picking them up and cuddling them even if they are hard to catch?
Any advice would be appreciative.
Thank you!
