Pros: smart, beautiful eggs, friendly

Cons: sometimes skittish

We have 2 barred rocks and 2 EEs.  The rocks are pushier and peckier, but the EEs are great.  One is a little skitterish (the prettier one) but the more raggedy-looking one is the best layer with the best color eggs, the friendliest, and the smartest of the four chooks.  And neither EE has ever once pecked me.  If I got more hens, they'd likely be EEs.  And the eggs are beautiful!

I've got two EEs and one is suffering terribly with the heat this summer---pants constantly and actually got sick for a few days. My other hens are managing fine, but the brown and red EE struggles. She's sweet, but my friendliest hen is a little black sex link.
