My two Speckled Sussex are nice enough. They don't peck at the other hens or at me, and they pretty much just leave everyone alone. Don't come up to me like the rest of the flock when I let them out of the coop, and really hate being picked up. If I try they start struggling a lot and if/when they get their wings out smack me until I have to set them down or they get out of my arms. Other than that, they are great layers with beautiful brown eggs. They lay all year, and aren't broody at all.
