I've really enjoyed gleaning much-needed knowledge from these recent posts! Can't properly express my gratitude. 
Thanks to all!
Our first poults are doing great, as is the Silkie who accompanies them.
Hopefully I'm not annoying anyone with endless questions, but here comes another! 
The hatchery had kept these youngsters in a brooder for two weeks until they were spoken for. I'm assuming they received little to no socialization, due to the fact they shy away from hands very slightly. Are they too old to imprint on us?
We've been to hand feeding, and allowing them to perch on our shoulders. It seems there's a slight improvement since.
