Hello! Two months ago I gave my broody hen 3 day old chicks to raise and she did a great job at protecting them from the rest of the flock, including their owners. Now the chicks have left their mama hen, and are extremely skittish. If I just walk past them they will freak out and run away. I knew the chicks would be more skittish, but I didn’t think they would be this skittish! Our previous hens are extremely nice and are pretty much like dogs! I am just a little upset that these chicks are SO skittish!
Does anyone know how to make them friendlier- if it’s even possible? Will they be less skittish when they start laying eggs? I would like to at least be able to catch them and hold them, but that isn’t possible with how skittish they are! Thanks in advance!!
