They will get friendlier. The Marans will probably be the friendliest of them all. I have French Copper Marans and they are so different then the rest of my chickens. They don't peck at you at all. I did spend a lot of time with them when they went from the brooder to the pen. I have 6 roosters
and 2 hens and they are 6 months old. You can pick them up without much of a fight. They also seem pretty dumb. When I had EE's they were pretty much to themselves. Didn't want anything to do with people. My RIR, LB will hang with me but they aren't interested in any contact. I think it all comes down to the trust issue with the birds.
