Pros: Great egg layers, calm, broody

Cons: Easily spooked, runs from humans

I bought two welsummer hens and while they're very calm and nice, they do not like human contact. I bought them while they were about 7 months old so it could be because of the person who had them before me but no matter how much I hold them and take care of them, they still run from me. They're great egg layers though. They're also broody. Update: My hens hatched healthy baby chicks this summer and take care of all them very well so I would say they're excellent mothers.

I have one Welsummer and she is now about 3 weeks old. She is very sweet and calm but as soon as picked up or we lift the cage netting lid, she is up in the air and flying. We have so far caught her immediatly every time she does this but are nervous how she much she would fly if we didnt catch her and weather she would get hurt.
