My last round of chicks (last summer) aren't just the most gentle things in the world, and are quite skittish. I didn't handle them unless I had to (changing brooder litter, etc...I didn't want to stress them) and once we moved them out to the coop and then on to free range, I hardly handle them at all. They are nearly impossible to catch!
So with my new babies I am wanting them to be more personable, and I am just wondering HOW to get them to be gentle? They are 1 week old. Just hold them for a few minutes a day? They are wild, jumpy little buggars and I'd like for them to be nice chickies
