I thinks chicks you hatch yourself tend to be a lot friendlier than bought chics. I guess because the store chics have been through so much shipping. They'll Come around, Especially When They're Big Enough For Treats.
I am not that concerned with them being lap birds (tho it might be fun) but since I am caring for them it would be better if I could pick them up when needed. I am thinking of when I begin taking them outside. Even if they are in a small pen they could be difficult to catch.
Even without picking them up they are fun to watch....they are so cute!
