How old are they? I have found, in my flock, that chicks are very friendly until they get to POL, then they may squat for me in the beginning, but they slowly pull away. This happens faster now that I have roosters. They attach to a rooster when they hit POL, and I'm second fiddle from then on.Is it possible that chickens can fall out of love with me? I don't seem to get the same responses, that I used to get? No interest in lap sitting, and the hens seem more stand offish than usual. It feels like, they don't want to be touched. (But they still eat from my hand)
Very unusual for my flock to act this way.
