Hens get friendlier with age, so if they are already running up to you now, I'm sure they'll be very friendly with regular handling. Each will have her own personality. Some of mine love to cuddle and follow me around whining .... until I pick them up. Others will run to greet me but prefer not to be held.So our little chicks are going to be two weeks old tomorrow. I have one in particular that seems very curious. In the last few days, often when I put my hand in the brooder, Sweat Pea will climb up my arm! Today when she did it, Charlotte followed and they both sat on my shoulders. I was just curious (as first time chicken mama) if these are signs that they're going to be friendly, or if they're just trying to be dominant, etc... Sweet Pea is an easter egger and Charlotte is a Black laced silver wyandotte.
My EEs have always had unique personalities. One was beautiful - but dumb. Another loved to chase animals from the yard. She would literally sit on the fence and swoop down to scare off unsuspecting squirrels. (We think she learned this behavior because of our dogs' passionate obsession with chasing rabbits & squirrels.)
Then there's my intelligent & fearless 8-yr-old Easter Egger, Tyrion. (Thought Tyrion was a rooster for 5 months) She was the smallest & a week younger than the others, but held her own. At 2 weeks old she sent my 100 lb dog running after a peck on the nose. Tyrion was a problem-solver and always figured out ways to enter & exit the garden. While having a backyard summer science camp, Tyrion decided to steal my students' sandwiches. All the other birds were wary of strangers and stayed near the coop, but not Tyrion! Imagine girl in chair eating a sandwich - then an uninvited chicken lands in her lap and starts eating the opposite end of her sandwich. All of a sudden the other kids wanted to feed their lunches to the chicken too.
Tyrion's now the old matriarch of the flock. She no longer gets into as much mischief, but she's still in charge. She won't let the roosters mate her. She also won't allow any hen to use HER nest box on a day she plans to lay an egg.
