I have read that they are very flighty, but! mine are not. I only have a pair. But they are so sweet....almost too sweet! I have almost stepped on them several times. They get right under my feet.
Thanks very much, everyone, you've given me the assurance I needed and taught me something I need to know. I'm going to keep them around a little longer to watch out for possible roo traits on the darker ones. I got dibs on a hen.
I never thought I sit around watching chickens grow or pay so much ATTENTION to every little thing. What fun!
And you will take pics of their growing..... here they are at 10 weeks, and here at 16 just look how tall he's gotten, and this is 20 weeks hasn't she turned into such a pretty hen?
