Help me understand this. We got a pair of BCMs when they were about 3 months old. I am very gentle with my chickens and handle them often. My male BCM is now, at 6 months, such an alarmest. Where I used to be able to approach the coop and they would all run to me, instead he freaks out like I'm danger and they all run under the coop. My sweet little Silkie who NEVER ran from me, does now when I attempt to pick her up.
I'm a little ticked off. And if he is heading down the wrong path, I won't shed a tear to re-home him. What have I done wrong to make him this way? Is it his age? Will he get better as he leaves his adolescence?
