I have some EO's and they were very skittish. I force held them gently a couple times a week until they stopped struggling to get away which really helped. Now that mine are getting up on 2 mths old they are so much better! They are such beautiful birds!
i have been holding them a lot for short times. today when i held them the orp fell asleep in my hand. so sweet. they are afraid when my hand goes into the brooder but then after i pick them up they are fine. yay
I hold them two at a time when they are small. They don't complain about leaving the brooder, as much, when they have a buddy with them.
