It might be that we did not raise the ducks and the guineas from day olds, but the rest of our flock has a tendency not to be skittish nor shy. We walk out and we have a flock of chickens run over to see what we're doing and what we're bringing. They wait for the water and food and they also like coming over just to see what we're doing. When we sit on the bridge to watch them they just sit or stand by us to catch the same view. When we got these breeds we were going for the heritage breed characteristics but were also hoping that they would not be true to the descriptions of "skittish, flighty, avoids human contact" I think we got a good bunch and we look forward to breeding them so that others can have these interactive tame birds.
The same can be said for our turkeys. They let us pet them and come over to see what we're doing. I look forward to their breed.
