Pros: Very protective, alert, interested
Cons: Mean, bossy, destructive
I got two from a lady when they were a few days old, they were my favorite at first. They were very interested in people first, and always ate from my hands. Once they matured they were two mean birds. The larger of the two was a rooster who just snapped one day and started going after my pants while they were free ranging. He got so bad I couldn't go into the coop without him trying to get me. So he found a new home. Then the second of the two was a hen who started crowing and tried to face off with the big guy and it didn't go so well. I ended up with a bloody mess one morning, so we decided to eat the little one before she got herself eaten by the big guy. Turned out it was a girl and not a miss identified boy which we found strange. They both caused plenty of problems but maybe I just was unlucky and got two off the wall birds. Not for me I guess. :/

They did keep everything away from the girls while they were out free ranging, even brave enough to chase a medium size dog off.

They did run the ladies hard though, and tore off a good amount of feathers from a few of them.
