It's very important that our birds be friendly, as we have kids. We have raised several of these birds and I'm currently hatching some too! We are very hands on with our flock and our girl Raven is very very personable. She was actually kept inside the house for a bit and loved being around people, sitting in laps, running around or sleeping with the dogs and cats. Also loves to fly to you when you go into the coop. Lays a consistent 6 eggs weekly, all large and light brown. In the right conditions will lay through summer and winter as well if needed. Definitely in my top two for good friendly layers. The other is Buff Orpington.
