Friendliness seems to be a really common trait with the RSLs. All of mine but one are very calm when being held. That one hen just starts struggling like crazy if I hold her.

Why would someone debeaked a chicken? Does it grow back?

Chickens in Battery cages are deeaked so that they can not harm each other when crammed in a tight space. Same goes for most chickens in the egg/meat industry.

Also, If you buy pullets as 20 week olds, they are often debeaked. Sadly, that is what happened to me. Last winter I had a pecking/feather pulling issue, and the the fact that the hens were debeaked didn't seem to help at all.

Love this thread! I think they are so so pretty! Those feathers come out in gorgeous patterns. Here's few of mine. They're approx 10 weeks. Barred rocks are a few weeks older.

This is my Honey. Because she's so sweet.

A great shot of Sunny's back. Hence the name Sunny.
