Right now, we have about 11 chicks that are a month old, and every time I go to feed them they freak out. I’ve been wondering if it’s possible to train them to be less freaked out and to actually enjoy being around people. I have a friend who’s chicks let her pick them up, and she said all she did was pick them up and touch them a lot. Whenever my hands even go near my chicks, though, they immediately started freaking out and running.
My chicks were like that to. What we did was we held them and gave them love and cuddles everyday to the point that they want love, even if they're running try to grab one and when you do just whisper to it and pet it softly till it calms down, then slowly put them back down and repeat with the other chickens.
Thats the best thing to do to get them used to you, it worked with me for my 3 different flocks
