I've had these birds for about five years now, and they are my absolute favorites, right next to the d'Uccles. I am going to be breeding several variations of this breed this year. I've owned the Quail Antwerp variation for five years, and they are typically very sweet. The hen I have right now isn't too fond of human contact, but she isn't nippy or aggressive. She is an amazing free ranger, and we've even seen her hunting down grasshoppers, so she doesn't consume a lot of feed. She can be a little noisy, but that doesn't both me too much.

I breed and raise d'Uccles, and have had porcelains for about 3 years now. They are very beautiful and can be docile. My rooster isn't aggressive, he usually minds his own business and has never bitten or attacked anyone. They are not super cuddly birds, but this cannot be said for all of them. My mille fleur hens are super sweet and don't mind me handling them. They make great show chickens, don't eat a lot, and are very beautiful.

I've never bothered with purchasing Happy Hen Treat Mealworms, because I just purchase the mealworms for wild birds. Same exact thing for nearly half the price. And you probably even get more mealworms.

I have been raising buff Orpingtons for years now, and they never cease to entertain me. My favorite hen, Brooklyn is one of the best layer hens I've ever had. She is a awesome mother (has hatched out large amounts of chicks and does a very good job keeping them alive and healthy), and has even survived a coyote attack. She was raising 13 chicks at the time when a coyote came into the yard and grabbed her by the tail feathers and carried her off over the hill. Hours went by, and we were sure she was gone for sure. But later on that day, we found her in the yard, leading her babies around as if nothing happened that morning. Of course, she had a few tail feathers missing after the incident but other then that, not a scratch on her!
