So here's the deal, I need to get my two twelve week old chicks used to me. I try and play with them but they aren't interested in food, and if I take one out of the cage and not the other they make tons of noise. My White Rock will let me hold her but my RIR doesn't like having her wings confined. Their pen is short so I can't get in there with them.
So I guess my question is, is there a food that chicks simply can't resist? I've tried oatmeal, fruit, lettuce, and pretty much everything my hens eat.
And also, how do I make it so that they get less attached to each other so that I can get in their little circle of friends?
Also, I let them free range every once and A while but they don't do anything, they just walk around. I put some chicken scratch on the ground but they don't acknowledge it.
Thanks in advance.
