Can anyone tell me why my buffs run from me when i get near? please help i want to get them friendly like my welsummer.

Did you just get them? Sometimes it takes awhile for them to warm up. Try buttering them up with some treats; it'll help them associate you with good things.

Though it's important to note that not all chickens are created equal in terms of friendliness. Some of my chickens are social as can be and seek me out/jump on my lap for petting. But others remain shy, despite my best efforts. Good luck with your buffs!

thank you for the reply and yes I got them two days ago they are around 12 weeks old while my welsummer is about 7 weeks. and the well summer (Martha) will follow me around the yard when im working on the garden insisting that she check out the ground before I can pull anything.
