Crowing
Very cute chicks! I have pretty much the same advice as everyone else. Spend time on their level, put some food in your hand and let them come to you, make sure to move slowly. Also, your clothes can make a difference. Last year's chicks were terrified of my daughter's brown and pink plaid pants and my husband's green plaid shirt. Not of people in general or of other plaids, just those 2 items... My daughter once scared them, quickly changed pants, came back in and the ran up to her chirping as if saying"did you see that scary monster a minute ago??"
Even though it seems like it from all the pictures, not every chicken can become a lap chicken. I have 7 adult chickens, only 1 loves to snuggle. 2 others will sometimes sit on my lap. The rest can be handled and will sometimes sit by me if I'm on the ground, but they didn't even start that until they were several months old and we spent HOURS with them as chicks. Have patience and they will eventually get there
