Hi, we are brand new to the chicken world and love it so far. My husband and I are fledging our youngest child off to college this fall and thought we would fill are empty nest with chickens! We have 6 12 week old girls that we just got this weekend. 2 Bard Rocks, 2 Lace Wyandotts, a black australorp and a speckled sussex, pardon the spelling! They are settling in nicely but I get the impression they hadn't been handled much. Can I expect them to become more friendly over time? They seem very sweet, just skitterish. I 've been offering treats frequently and talk to them alot. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
