We have one of these wonderful girls, Joy, and she is a consistent layer with a really sweet personality. She is constantly talking with quiet clucks and squeals, which is so much fun to hear. She is always interested in what you're doing, what you have in your hands, can she eat it... she's great. Best of all, she has been a consistent layer of small to medium eggs. She is our top bird, for being as small as she is (she's our littlest bird), she definitely can be a little bully. She plucked the butts of her fellow girls, but a set of pinless peepers has mellowed her out. I'd definitely recommend this breed, (even with Joy's happy plucking)!
