Newbie here... my wifes 2 day old domoniques arrived today!! It has been her DREAM to be able to hold her chickens! Her mother was able to do it when she was a child and we have no idea when and how to start "handling" the birds. How does she need to go about getting them used to her and letting her hold them even when they are grown?? We didn't want to harm them too early. Didn't know if we should leave them alone a couple of weeks or what? How often can we pick them up? where do we pet them where they are most relaxed? You get the idea. And thanks ahead of time!!
