Nervous Vorwerks

[Heidrun]

I got two 14 weeks old Vorwerk, and they are the most nervous birds I ever had..
My other hens are mostly light sussex and they never showed such a nervousness when younger..
After beeing here for 2 weeks, they are still pretty scared of me..Wondering why its so difficult to tame them? Does anyone have any experience with this sort ? Hope to get some good advise xanyone

They are in the teenage phase and you have only had them 2 weeks. You are expecting too much too quickly. In most cases regardless of breed 2 weeks is not enough time for chicks at that age or older who were not previously handled regularly to calm down. I have all different breeds of chickens along with ducks, pigs, goats and horses on the farm. Regardless of species 2 weeks is not long enough to expect a new animal to adjust unless they were very tame before you got them. Even then I always expect 1 month of an adjustment period for any of my new animals.
