I once had an Amberlink, I have no clue if it's the same as an Amber Star hybrid, but anyway, she was the sweetest girl ever, hopped up on my chair outside for treats. Very very smart, let me just say, however if I can recall she could be kinda sassy to the other chickens. Not really mean exactly, just not the nicest. Her name was Lucille. Lucille laid very pretty medium brown eggs if I can recall. I think she died of congestive heart failure.

I've only had one maran, she was a mystic maran. She was very sweet, laid huge dark brown eggs, had a big build, although not overweight. I don't remember her much because she died a long time ago. I think she probably died because she got egg bound.

my black sexlink is very food obsessed, she loves her crumble. She has a few BFFs in the flock, Vicky, who passed away, Flo, and Phyllis. She likes humans, but is more a chicken "person". She likes the older chickens more than the annoying young ones. She is not that picky about what she eats, which is good. She is not vocal at all.

My little hen Vicky was so sweet, she had a special bond with my black sexlink Winnie. They did everything together. Vicky had a lot of personality. She was kinda overweight either that or her legs were just far apart at birth.

I'm not really sure how many eggs she laid because the color of her eggs were the same color as all the rest of the eggs.

my welsummer that passed away was a very nice bird, she wasn't skittish or flighty, but she was more shy and kept to herself. very nice to other chickens. she was very big, had stocky legs and a big build in general.

On all websites I've visited says that easter eggers are one of the sweetest chicken breeds you can get. Yes, that can be true....But all chicken's personalities vary! I can barely get close to my easter egger, she startles when I make the slightest movement. She is not afraid to stand up for herself. She will fight. She fights with a hen that is twice the size as her. On the other hand, she lays pretty eggs and her face is cute. She only has 2 friends in my entire flock, they were in the same batch. She only really hangs out with the chickens her age. She has a very weird laying time, will lay all throughout summer, and after Winter she starts back up again very early, about February.

This is my light brahma, Dottie. Very sweet hen, kinda shy, but not skittish.

I have one black australorp named Phyllis, went broody in the summer of 2023, was a great mom. Gets along great with other chickens, rooster loves her.

I originally got a young adult trio of buff Americans and the gander was extremely sweet and friendly. The hens were friendly but standoffish, they would come up and chat but kept their distance. Unfortunately, he died to a fox. He was the sole casualty so I like to think he died protecting his birds. Unfortunately, the replacement gander wasn’t so nice. At first he was shy but when breeding season came around he decided he loved my dad and hated everyone else. He would follow Dad around singing songs to him and accepting hugs. He tried to bite and beat everyone with his wings and constantly attacked everyone on the farm. Including the visitors. Also the hens sat on eggs but only one incubated successfully. They were very protective of their baby and Charlie momentarily wouldn’t attack you at random with the new purpose of watching over his child. (I’m sure he would if you got close but that’s on you then.)
Unfortunately we sold that baby and he returned to his evil ways. When breeding season ended he was slightly less mean but still very mean.

My darling hubby bought this for me (perhaps I talk too much) and I didn’t do a minute of housework for a week. It’s absolutely fascinating. So much info so clear and well explained. The index points to problems quick and explains advise to the most horrible problems that we should never have to deal with. I read it from cover to cover, only ever done that with stories before.
