New Chicks - a little skittish and shy

[KathyK]

Mine are 3 weeks old now and love most any type of treat. Interesting though, is that they are not interested in "white" food. The lighter colored stuff is not very interesting. Maybe it's the red light that affects the appearance. I will try boiled egg. I had always heard that the yolk had all of the protein??

The whites carry more protein. The yolk carries more fat.

I'm having the same issue with my Ameracauna chicks. I raised babies before and they were all over me. They will eat no other food except their chick feed. I'm afraid they will be shy when grown. Especially if I end up with a rooster. Are Ameracaunas more shy?
