I have had Birmingham Rollers up till recently and have greatly enjoyed my experience with this breed. The birds that I had were very tolerant to myself and would eat off of my hand, and were hardy with Minnesota's weather. The best rollers that I had were the most intelligent and found other ways to sneak into their loft besides the traditional trap door. Some of them were rather flighty but, with some attention and some "tlc" they tolerate my attention; those that I hand feed became rather affectionate towards me.

Leghorns arn't always flighty if you go out and hold them for a while and one of mine has gone broody for roughly 3 months. I got an egg roughly every day from my black leghorns and from my other varities. However they do not handle the cold well especially the roosters with their even larger comb,one of my leghorn roosters was stertile and was sold. My black Leghorn hens were the most friendly of the varities I had and the dark brown the most skittish.
Leghorns are usually very skittish and smart one exception from that was 2 of my light brown leghorn hens who had drowned themselfes in a stock tank with a milk crate in there. Another hen had to be pulled out of the stock tank and was named Suicidial or as I now call her Suey C. Suey C is my last leghorn and will stay here with the others as she lays white and the others lay brown.

Jersey Giants have finally received a smaller counterpart. I guess they arn't as big now as they used to be, well the Bantams.
