In my flock of 41 (3 roosters and 38 hens) my pair of Spitzhaubens are my favorites by far. My rooster Hans rules the roost including my two light brahma roosters but he's gentle and friendly with me and my family. He's never aggressive with us and will walk over and let me pick him up and carry him around. Oh and he's a gorgeous rooster! Princess, my Spitzhauben hen is as friendly as Hans and will squat when I touch her back. Cracks me up and makes it easy to grab her.
They're really great chickens and striking in appearance. I live in northern Minnesota and they handled the winter with ease. Hans got a little frostbite on his waddles but they look great once spring rolled around.
The best part is watching Hans kick the brahma's, who out weigh him but at least a couple pounds, off his girls and then chase them around.
I have a chainlink fence for a run and covered the top with deer netting which I got specifically to keep them in since they supposedly like to roost in trees. Mine free range about half the day but they show no desire to roost in trees.
Great chickens!
