The Bantam of the Opera Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I was just reading up on how hens become alot more docile and friendly when they start laying and i was wondering if cockerels ever get more mangaeable. ive got 2 at the moment, didnt intend to get any at all but im just lucky i guess. (dont worry i keep them seperate) anyway, my bantams have recently started laying and are much easier to pick up etc but snape, the boy, isnt. he just runs off and is quite fast. the same goes for Mr.pudding. do they ever settle down or not? if they do, what prompts it? thanks incidentially, does anyone want a maran boy? i hate rehoming cockerels, which ive had to do lots, but i hate the alternative more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
