I have three silkie chicks, they are adorable! But they hate me.
For the first couple days I left them alone to dry up, and get used to their surroundings. Then, like I usually do, I tried to get them familiar with me.
I did what I always do! I put my hand in the brooder box so they'll be familiar with it. I dipped my fingers in water and put it in their food so they'll peck food from my hand.
This always works like a charm with my other chicks! But these guys just huddle in the corner, and whenever I get too near to them they freak out and run to the other corner. This is the first time I've had chicks reject me like this
How do you guys get your chicks to like you?
