Thank you! It’s a crappy feeling to see them so scared of you. Hope your babies come around too. 😊

I replied to you earlier but I’m not seeing it. Thank you for your advice. I will definitely take all of this into consideration for sure. Thank you! 😊

Thank you! I’ll have to try that. These girls are growing much faster than my others did. They’re already flying out and perching on the edge of the brooder. Thank you! I’ll have to try that. These girls are growing much faster than my others did. They’re already flying out and perching on...

They were a bit skittish but they came around enough for me to handle them. They watched me as much as I watched them. They eventually got to the point to...

Thank you. I haven’t given up. I’m still giving them the same things and more. And they do get out to forage, but they eat the Annual Blue Grass mainly.

They just look at it then look away or they’ll pick it up and drop it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

They are almost 2 1/2 months old.

So….I’m wondering what is going on with my babies? I hear everyone talk about their chickens love to eat anything and everything. So I’m excited! I get all kinds of stuff to plant etc. They will NOT eat sage, arugula, dandelion, peppermint, sunflower seeds, bananas, raspberries, blueberries...
