on saturday we got a 3month old red star, black star and black australop, although both black ones look the same.They weren't handled much from what I can tell. The are super skittish and flighty. Every time me or any of our orphingtons go anywhere close to them they squawk and run/fly away in a panick. I have been leaving them in the coop/run area as I'm scared to let them out and free range in fear they will go hide and not come back.
At night when I pry them from there roost spot above the door I manage to hold them for a couple minutes before they start screeching and disturbing all the other girls. Not sure what else I can do besides try and hold them a little to settle them down.
Any thought?
