Oh good! Because this particular chick is very sweet natured and good looking. It's one of my children's favorites. I want friendly but well bred birds.
I do like these bitty guys. A friend said they are so dumb as a breed, but that is OK with me. We aren't looking for chickens who can rewire the house...they are pets for my kids, who can also show them in 4H, and we can eat their eggs too. So they might not be able to forage with the big birds out in our fields (I'd be too worried about them not seeing predators). I'm getting them a large chicken tractor to move around so they can eat bugs and grass yet be safe.
