Mixing flocks

Mine are about the same they like a scratch when they squat down, which is a sign a hen is at laying age, then walk away and fluff up. The four roos I have are very timid and don't like contact but run close whenever they see me outside.

Scratch, I meant , is a mix of cracked grains. We don't use much as it isn't that good for them but they LIKE it.
It consists of wheat, corn, and oats. Now I give her black sunflower seeds or a banana coated in flax seed, bread ends (her fav) or veggie things from the house.

I know you meant scratch grains, mine like being scratched under their feathers. Mine just walk away when you pet them.

oh, sorry. I gently squeeze her neck and then slowly run my hand down her back. Her response is to fluff up and shake.
