In February we bought three baby chicks. A Speckled Sussex, a Buff Orpington, and a Black Australorp. The Sussex and Orpington were a week or two old and the Australorp was a few days old. Since moving them outside they have been less friendly and no longer want to be touched or held. We let them free range our yard all day long. I go outside and sit with them and feed them treats (dried meal worms) but they just don't want to be held or petted or be lap chickens. Is there anyway I can bribe them to enjoy petting and become lap chickens?
