I have five chicks, three red sexlinks and two black sexlinks. They are more like teenagers now I guess. Three of them are much easier to catch and the other two are just crazy!

One black sexlink (she has some brown feathers on her chest, but is mostly black) and one of the red (the one with the most white feathers mixed in. Those two are just a pain to catch, always trying to get away, Will they always be that way. The other three are much friendlier. Although the mostly black one is first to come running if she thinks there is food coming.
 
Feed is the great equalizer when taming chickens. Always remember that they are prey animals. Catching them and coming at them from above only reinforces their instinct to flee. (It's how they have survived everything that loves to eat chicken.) Make them come to YOU for feed.
