We have 3 Barred Rock pullets from Meyer Hatchery, and they ALL have standout personalities! I truly cannot say enough good about them. They actively seek out our company and demand to be the center of attention at all times. Recently, one of the 2 older pullets saw my daughter crouched down, taking pictures of her ducks on the other side of the enclosed pasture. She made a mad dash for her and got directly in front of the camera. When she didn't immediately get the attention she wanted, she bit her on the elbow. That is how all 3 of them are, and we absolutely love them for it! They are also GREAT talkers! My 2-year old son absolutely adores them because they are the ones that chase him around the pasture and come right up for lots of pats and hugs. We have 27 chickens of 20 different breeds, and so far, this one is my favorite. I think this is an excellent starter breed for those who, like me, are new to raising chickens.
