You don't want the males to come running to you. You don't want to handle males very much once you realize they're male, you want them to ignore you or move out of your area. They need to respect you early before hormones start running.Explain the ignores you. All my chickens come running when they hear me coming. I handle babies as much as I can to socialize them. None of them enjoy being picked up but some tolerate it and are easier to catch than others.
