touching babies

[Rhasputin]

I handle mine from day 1+, this ensures that as adults ,they are used to being handled, and are easy to manipulate.

The mothers are a bit bitey, still, even though mine are tame. They don't BITE really, they just give me a nibble like, 'Exscuse me? Hello there? Why are you picking me up off of the nest? Hmm?"

But they generally get over it, and move along.
But if yours are not tame, I can suggest that if you are very interested in handling the babies, but worry about the mom's being nippy, you can scoot them off of the nest with a paper towel tube or something, and then should be able to handle the babies with no troubles. ASFs are pretty easy going, and curious, they shouldn't come after your hand just to attack.

If one did, I would not let it breed.

Are your ASFs skittish? Or are they generally slow moving and laid back?
I've never seen a skittish or high strung ASF, but if yours are, I'd suggest a few days wait before handling. Though, you should reach in and stroke the mother on the back if you can, to let her realize you aren't a threat to her, or the litter.
