I got my SS as an older pullet and I'm sad that I didn't get to raise her as a baby because I wish she was less skittish. I would love to cuddle her because she's so cute and fluffy. She's a pretty consistent layer (about 5 eggs per week) and she's pretty quiet for the most part. She's sometimes vocal when I come out and she wants treats or grass clippings haha. She's a very docile chicken and is unfortunately the bottom chicken because of it. She got picked on when first introduced and has since been accepted in the flock but still avoids the BR.

I have two Wyandottes, one Blue Wyandotte and one Golden-laced Wyandotte. Love my Blue Wyandotte for her looks and she's a pretty consistent layer. Her only problem is she is very noisy. I like to call her Willow the Whiny Wyandotte. She's a diva and let's everyone know when she's laid her eggs and is just in general very vocal all the time. My Golden-laced Wyandotte I got as an older pullet and she is very skittish. She's also an escape artist and gets out of the run by flying on top of the coop and then jumping off into the yard... She's also very inconsistent with egg laying. Some weeks it's every day, others I only get 3 eggs from her. They're also very small. I hope they get bigger because she has been laying bantam sized eggs for almost 2 months now.

Love my sweet BR hen. She is second in command but is much more docile than our top chicken and other hens. She's a great layer too, on average 5-6 eggs a week. She's still in her first year of laying so they're usually medium sized eggs but I'm hoping they get a little bigger once she's older.

I'm on my first flock of chickens and I love having a Barred Rock. I heard great things about them and she's been a great addition to our backyard flock. Our BR is our boss lady chicken and she does her best to protect the other girls from our very scary fluffy puppy or other dangers that might arise. She's definitely one of the most handleable of our flock and she's super sweet. She won't come sit on my lap like she did when she was a baby but she'll come running to say hi anytime I'm in the backyard.
