I was totally kidding, her glaring eye just cracked me up in this pictureWhen they are three weeks old or thereabouts, especially, they go through a very skittish phase and don't like human contact. Just keep offering small amounts of treats as they grow up and continue the loving!
They will become much friendlier when they begin to lay. Then they will squat for you and let you pick them up, most likely.
Thank you for this! My chicks just turned 3 weeks old and also just started act like they are terrified of me!! They are so skittish all of a sudden, I've been wondering what I've been doing wrong. Good to know that I should just keep feeding them and spending time with them and they will come around....well hopefully anyways!When they are three weeks old or thereabouts, especially, they go through a very skittish phase and don't like human contact.
