I agree with everything in the "Breed Details" article below EXCEPT for the "seldom broody".
I have/had a mixed breed of 5 hens and although they all laid well ONLY the two that went broody were the two EE. They successfully hatched their cluthes a few days apart. Excellent mothers.
Rooster was the best darn rooster I've ever seen. He was huge, and a little too agressive.
After we put him down, we found out two days later why he was so protective.
Big Daddy was fighting off almost every known night time predator in our county!!
Two days after we culled him I lost a Wyandotte, the next day my beloved BR.
Great breed.
