Bantam Brahmas: Do you love them?

[Sassysouth]

I purchased 5 Buff Bantam Brahmas from My Pet Chicken, 4 Pullets and 1 Cockerel. They are about 13 weeks old and tend to stick to their themselves, usually perched up in the run. They are very flighty, super fast and hard to catch. I am just not loving them like I am the Silkies and Cochins. Will it get better? They kind of remind me of brown pigeons. I just don’t know what to think about them.

I bought 2 from them too, ended up with a hen and rooster. Rooster was butchered young due to his aggression towards the other roosters he was penned with. I also found him ugly compared to my bantam cochins.

The hen is independent, and not very friendly. I did get a really pretty rooster out of her crossed with my bantam mottled cochin. Otherwise she is a good forage, where my cochins stick mostly to the run.
