Silkie Temperament

[chycknFun]

Glad to know I'm not alone in having silkies that seem to want nothing to do with me. I got mine when they were 2mo old they're about 6mo now and I have hand fed them which they're okay with once they stop spinning in spazzy circles. I have tried, anyway, to hold them they act like they have to fight for dear life to get away even if that means a hard landing if I pick them up and try to hold them. They won't even let me touch them, they just freaking out and try hiding in their nesting box. I don't get it, they have lived with me for several months and they act like I'm a stranger.

I had RIR's and others breeds who have a reputation for being high strung, yet my RIR's and others were so chill only difference was I had raised them from day old. Maybe getting these guys at 2mo was a bad idea?

I just don't know why they are too "chicken" to hang out with me.
