those really dark ones are marans right? are they hard to handle? i had reds that were wild i was affraid of them lol
yes Black Copper Marans. I don't "handle" my birds that much, but I wouldn't call them wild. The roosters that I've had were not unusually agressive either. (The boys I specifically don't handle much after I can tell them from the girls though, as I've not had any good experience with "pet" roosters. They are not wild, but they move away if I get too close to them.)
They all come running up when I pull in the drive, the girls and the roosters, which is friendly enough for me. The girls will get underfoot hoping for treats, and the boys get close, but move out of my pathway as I walk.
If I want to catch any of them I always do it after dark from their roost, just easier on all of us that way.
