Tips on taming chickens

[amnich]

Handle them as much as possible! Literally whenever you have free time, at least once a day when they are chicks. It also depends on the breed. Some are much more docile and willing to be held, regardless of the time you spend handling them. I got a sussex and a silkie both at the same time from the same person at a day old, and the silkie is much friendlier than the sussex even though I handled them fairly equally. Not that the sussex is unfriendly, but the silkie is attached to the point that she will get annoyed when I don't pick her up.

My 13 girls, maybe 12 girls 1 boy, we will see, are 3 months old, I got them as day Olds and have handled them alot from day 1. Now they don't want to cuddle at all unless I go in when theyvery rooster for the night, then they let me pet and hold them.
Have tried worms they take them from my hand but drop them and lose interest.
1 girl found slugs and will eat them, the rest will catch on I assume.
They nip my fingers everytime I'm around now after hand feeding them all last month. Can I stop that? Ouch
Any help appreciated thanks in advance
