[QUOTE="Faeshka, post: 25920836, member: 643933"] Does the brooder have open sides or have closed sides? Mine were a lot more skittish when I had them in a plastic container brooder. They're more relaxed now they're in a wire dog crate+wire exercise pen brooder. I spent time hanging out with mine, talking to them, showing them the water & food, tapping my finger on the ground like a momma hen pecking near the food. That plus moving them to the wire crate brooder helped them settle down. They're babies & are learning about the world. I was so worried mine would be scared of me but now they run over to the brooder door when I come with food or water. [/QUOTE]
