I do like these birds, and have desided to have a go at breeding them.
I find them to be very tameable, and that they tend to settle nicely when being handled.
They seem to travel well and are all for a trip in the car to see friends.
I was very impressed at how well my young cockerel behaved around my friends very excitable 6yr old.
He was very calm, no agression, but still kept his confidence and posed when placed down, with the odd wing flap to show off how dominant and pretty he is
I find the hens to be more timid though they seem very curious. I have a cute silkied hen that is a tiny class A yet if I put my hand by her and she isn't interested, she'll let me know with a good peck!
Not aggressive, but not submissive either

I enjoy them alot.

The two hens I had were purchased from a local lady that was moving house (England). They were 2 and a half years old, and in need of a new home. She had alot of other breeds, but these were so beautiful that they stole my vote immediately. Stunning lacing, yellow legs and very large and heavy. They are about the same size as my Brahma's. By far the most friendly hens and this surprised me, as they have come from a massive free range flock. I guess I have been used to raising flighty breeds, so it was a nice change.
I also liked the way they have there own sort of noice. Not a standard chicken noice. They are very verbal.
I also liked how brave they were when being introduced to my large flock, and how quickly they intergrated compared to the two Brahma's that I picked up at the same time.
All in all, very fun, friendly birds. If you have a family and want a big beautiful cuddley pet, two of these girls would set your backyard alight.
