My girl used to let me pet them

[abmurry914]

My ladies used to come to me when I entered the run and let me pet them, most of them anyway, but now when I go in they usually run away from me and if I kneal down they will come to me slowly but get spooked when I try to touch them. If I do get to show them some love, they bow and kind of spread their wings is that normal?

Sounds as if your birds are 'teen agers' entering sexual maturity. They will probably return to their earlier temperament once they start laying.

Some of them are laying, I've noticed the ones who I'm pretty sure are laying are the ones who bow and spread their wings when I rub their back
