The hens are usually docile and tame. But the few roos I have dealt with have been little

Thanks I was mainly worried about how tame the hens were. Will they let you pick them up as adults if you tame them as chicks?

yes. One of most favorite hens was a seabright had her for about 7 years until a dog got her.

Hi, I have 5 Silver Sebrights left that was part of a larger flock that I sold. They are about 14 wks right now and although they come around me they are very skittish. How can I get them trained at this age and become more docile with me. I also have 2 Cinnamon Queens and a Calico Princess that are 16 wks. The large hens are alot more docile but 1 Cinnamon Queen is as skittish as the Sebrights. I appreciate any help or guidance you can provide on this matter

Welcome!
Sit around out there with food! Call them and offer small amounts of scratch or something, and just be there. Some birds will be more likely to visit closely, and many others will come underfoot, but decline to be held. That's normal!
Enjoy them for who they are.
