I haven't handled Crystal (white crested) yet. I handled Mint (golden 300 layer) and she was fine being caught/picked up/held but freaked and flew away when I first set her down.
I don't know what it means in duck body language when a young hen freezes while handled, but I'll take that over a squaking terror machine any day. Frankly, I only need them to tolerate being caught and held for their sake, so I can treat them if necessary.
