As they mature, they can change. I have some hens more friendly than others, I let them choose how "close" they feel they want to be. I only have a couple that don't mind too much being picked up, the rest are not that keen, so I leave them be. Only time I even pick those up would be for some...
My Sapphire Gems are going on 3years old, so far really no broody tendencies, but every hen can be different.
Good egg layers though, very Sweet Girls too.
