I have 13 week old chickens, one pullet and one cockerel (both Brahma Sussex mix) whom I hand raised and hatched myself. They were the sweetest birds while I raised them inside for almost 5 weeks and we’re easily handled and loved. Once I slowly integrated them into my flock with the see no touch method, they became disinterested in me. They are fully integrated now although the two pair off from the rest of the flock mostly. They run from me and seem frightened. Why do they not like me any longer? Is this a phase? I don’t recall my other birds being like this! They are also a pain to get back in the run after free range time. The pullet bit me when I cornered and grabbed her but the Cockeral just freaks out and then settles when I catch him. I’d like to note that the rest of my flock is a fun-loving and easy going group.
