Showgirl behavior

[VioletBlueBell]

I’ve had these showgirl chicks for two weeks now. I have no previous experience with this breed. They are kind of strange in terms of behavior. I feel like they don’t interact at all, and don’t really do much of anything. Is that normal? My hens (Ameraucana, langshan, cream legbar, maran) have always acted so different - they have always been super interactive, interested in new food i have offered, perched, etc. These showgirls kind of don’t do anything. I mean they are eating and drinking at least, and seem healthy.

I have only had bearded silkies, but silkies in general are a very quiet and relaxed breed. It may take them longer to warm up to you than usual, but once they do, they should have lots of personality. They look pretty healthy to me, so I wouldn't worry about illness unless you see any symptoms. They may just be getting used to their surroundings. Good luck!
