My silkies are afraid of my hands.

I have one 4 weeks old white silkie and two two weeks old black silkies. I try to hold them everyday but they run away from my hand. I thought by now they should get used to it. Am I doing a wrong way? They don't like to be held. They will struggle to get away. Feel so sad..

Everyday......I put the treat on my hand and they will eat from my hand but if I try to catch them.....they run like a crazy chick.

It's instinct when something is after them for to run, when they get older they will be much more willing to be held.

Got any photos of them to share?
