Other breeds that we have gotten in the past took to us instantly and started following us around like we were momma.
These "Aracauna" but really easter eggers are so wild. I have not had the time to spend with them that I would need to tame them but they are getting the hang of things and they do communicate their needs and pleasure or displeasure but they are very wild compared to the other breeds I have had in past.
What I have read about this breed has never indicated their wild tendencies - just the opposite. Why are these that I have wild and what is necessary to tame them or will they never be very tame?
I ask because eventually when they are older I want to let them out of the playpen to run around the yard more but if they are going to be difficult to catch (right now my dog does catch them for me when they get loose.) physically I can't do it and it would also be dangerous for them if they do not learn to mind like our other chickens did.
