Hmm, well today I am buying 2 Polish chicks who are the same age as my silkie chicks. The lady I'm buying them from say's she handles them everyday and they like to be held. I'm wondering if my silkie chicks will learn from them....I hope so.
I'm not sure if that's how it works, but it's the best I can do right now. Usually when they hit 2 weeks old I take them outside, but the weather has been so bad, I can't.
This morning though was a huge breakthrough (well, kind of). I was talking quietly to them for a while, like you guys said to do, and one of them actually came up and pecked my hand!!
But as soon as I moved my hand she freaked out and ran back to her fluffy friends, but it's a start...I think.
