Yokohama thread?

[QuoVadis]

Can someone tell me what the Yokohama personality is like, especially hens? How nice are they twoard people and other chickens? Are they really as bad of egg layers as I have read? What has been your exsprience in that department?

I don't believe they are show quality but I believe you can work with them geneticaly and in future generations you may end up with SQ..

When I had my yokos many years ago, my hens were sweet and docile and my roos were curious and fairly friendly. One was a bit standoffish but never mean, the other was a big baby. Then when the little ones came along the baby roosters were super sweet.
