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.

I have a very low stool I sit on when I go out to spend time in the brooder room. I stretch my legs out straight and within a few minutes there are 6-10 visitors on my legs. One FBCM roo is always the 1st there and stays the whole time I'm in there. He loves when I pet him. Sure hope he stays nice so I don't have to ship him off to freezer camp!

there are only two of them and i do try to take them out together. they have gotten better but still not happy to see me. oh well i'm sure it will get better.

12 AM's in lockdown! Could be blues, lavs, or black or blue splits. 2 possible roos. Fun, fun, fun!!!

My hatch went great! 1 clear, 1 mid quitter, and the rest hatched!

Ended up with 5 black, 4 blue and 2 lav AM's! The blacks and blues could also be splits.
