Hi Everyone!
First time trying to raise chickens. They are about 3 1/2 weeks old. They are so afraid of me. I have always tried to pet them, interact with them but now they scream and fly out of their baby pool where they live, for the time being. Then I try to catch them to put them back in and chaos erupts. Then I spend the next half hour cleaning poop off my floor. Theirs not mine lol. It’s so difficult to even feed them and change their water. I really tried to do all the research and webinars I could. Perhaps I was just not prepared properly. I look at all the photos of chicks chilling with their humans and running up to them with glee. Mine are worse every day. I guess I’m just looking for a little encouragement. Thank you!
