I own one bantam wheaten and she is just a sweetie.

No, she doesn't sit on my lap, but she DOES come to my whistle (most of the time.)  She allows me to pick her up sometimes,  and she will "cuddle" once I'm holding her.  Taffy is VERY independent, although not the "head Hen", and NO ONE gives her grief.  

Maybe it's because she's bantam or her color, but the only time she has been flighty (although she CAN fly quite well) has been after her chick was hatched. She settled back down after about a week.  Unless she's molting, she lays eggs regularly and with great efficiency.  No fuss, no bother.

I REALLY want another buff or wheaten.  They seem to have such wonderful personalities.

I did raise her from a chick, so that may be one reason she's so friendly.  But whatever it is, I'm sure glad I have her!

I'm sorry but I think you might've posted this in the wrong place. This is a review for the Ameraucana, not the Buffs, although you sure make them sound great. :)
She's a buff (wheaten colored) Ameraucana and she IS a sweetie.
