Ok two issues I am concerned on.
1. When I try to work with the chicks on getting used to me I use food in my hand to get them to come to me. However they attack this feed and my hand like they are starving! I have an 18 inch feeder in with them. There are only 12 chicks, and there is always food in the feeder. Any thoughts on why? It really hurts how hard they peck at my hand.
2. They are almost a week old and I have been spending time with them 2 to 4 times a day and they still act terrified of me, what can I do?
Thanks for any help.
