Socialising my chickens

I have just brought 4chickens I have had them for one week I would like to know how to socialise with them as at the moment they run in the oppersite direction when I go near them

Treats! The way to a chickens heart is through its stomach.
Start by tossing the treat out on the ground, and everyday you give it bring it a little closer. Eventually they'll trust you enough to eat from your hand.
Keep in mind they're probably still pretty stressed out from moving.

X2. I socialized mine with black oil sunflower seeds. Now they are underfoot every time I go into the backyard.
