I have 2 australorps about 4 months old. 1 turned out to be a roo. Neither are sweet or even want anything to do with us. I got them at the feedstore, and they were older then a day old for sure. Wonder if that has anything to do with it....
Could be, I got mine in a shipment from MPC, she has never been real friendly, standoffish really - just nosey to see what I am doing (well, from afar). The barred rock now that is a whole noter can of worms - comes to me like a dog, LOL.
My australorps are curious from afar too.
I agree!! I have some barred rocks too (they came as packing peanuts with my silkies from ideal. We didnt handle them much since I knew I couldnt keep 10 roos-1 is a girl btw!!, and we handled the silkies alot. The silkies are more skittish and afraid then the BR's).
I LOVE the BR's. I went to the feedstore a couple weeks ago to get a couple more BR girls since I only have 1.
Ive seriously thought about selling some of my other breeds and getting more BR's!
And out of my bantam cochins, the ones that I hatched are my fave, and its the boy I kept that is the friendliest! He always comes out to see me when I open the door, lets me hold him and pet him.
