Good afternoon all! So I need advice on how to make my chickens friendly. I did research on breeds and thought that polish birds would be nice and calm but there's always been one that has been erratic. I ended up only being able to keep one polish bird and I adopted two other bantams. One was an australorp-polish mix and the other, some kind of silkie mix. Well neither of them are able to be held. They're highly erratic and I can't even get close to them without them running away or flying away. The silkie mix is the worst. I've considered them carrying baggage with them since I adopted at a couple of months old. But does anyone have any advice? I believe that they have potential, I just need to get some advice.
No pictures yet, but maybe I'll be able to get them calm enough to take pictures with! They're truly beautiful.
Side note: When I introduced the birds, they were fine and didn't fight. The polish bird just kinda avoids the other two.
Actually, the silkie mixed bird was so erratic, she ran away for two nights when I first got her and surprisingly survived.
But I have so much love for them. So amazing still
