I'm really interested to hear what others have to say about their disposition. Mine both will pluck feathers from the other 2 chickens that are lower in the pecking order than them. Personally, I'd never get Wyandottes or Orpingtons again. I've had the most trouble with them out of everyone in my flock. My big hen isn't aggressive towards me anymore, but she will chase and pluck others. They both seem to gang up, one does it then the other joins in.
My GLW were handled a lot. Even as little chicks, they didn't like to be touched like the other birds did.
Here's what one source says:
Hardy In Winter: Yes
Bears Confinement: Bears confinement well
Especially Docile: Yes
Setter/Broody: Yes
Personality: Generally easygoing with a tendency toward domination
