zanooda:

I think the other Hippogriffs are still in the Forest. I believe
Hagrid tamed them, gave them names, but they were not his pets or
anything of the kind. They lived in the Forest, and Hagrid just called
them, if needed, like for that unfortunate first COMC lesson of his.
After Buckbeak attacked Malfoy, I suppose Hagrid let the rest of them
go, and they returned to the Forest. 

As for Buckbeak, after living for so long with Hagrid and later with
Sirius, he became what we call a pet - living with his master, eating
his food etc. Buckbeak was the only Hippogriff at the battle of
Hogwarts, because he was probably still living somewhere next to
Hagrid and Grawp's cave, so he followed them to Hogwarts :-).
