I do think that peeps seem to be the most "fragile" before the adult feathers start to come in...my parents raised them when I was young and we (my sister and I) were never allowed to hold them, my mom was adamant about us "making them sick". We usually got a few hen raised broods a year that would go on to produce the eggs we all loved, the old ones stuck around til they died of old age and the roosters of the broods went in the freezer...

I like them best when they are vacuum sealed

:slapfloor: That was a good one B.O.F!! My dad would eat the eggs but would not eat the chicken, said they were "disgusting" (though that wasn't the choice of words he used!)
