Mine are usually chilled out, calm and very friendly. I have a selection, and they're my favourites so far - that's why I have so many of them.

Quite agree with Glutton. The breed was developed for battery cages so there was the need for a calm nature. I love mine and I think no matter what else I have there'll always be a few in my flock. In fact they're so friendly they are in imminent danger of being trodden on as they spend all their time following me around the allotment!

Thirded - mine get underfoot whenever possible and love being cuddled so much so that they all crowd round when you sit down

Yep, my mum has two and they are full of character - they jump all over her spade when she is digging, looking for worms, and nearly get sliced up in the process.

[Flummery]

They are gorgeous. I'd recommend them to anyone.

i have two of them, one is a laid back "pet" and the other has been renamed "queenie" (after steve mcqueen) as she seems to escape every time my wife goes in there,but they love being fed by hand,so no trouble rounding them up....good luck with them ,you will enjoy them...
