We love Cheeky (11 wks old EE pullet). She's smart, beautiful (with that awesome falcon face) and very funny. She's very vocal. Not loud (yet?), just always "talking" in low rolling coos. She comes when called but doesn't always like to be held at first. Unlike most of my other girls, she takes awhile to calm down and let you love on her. She'd much rather use you as a jumping off point to fly onto the highest surface she can find. Once she realizes you're not letting her go, she settles right in and cuddles. She's always very curious about what we're doing and likes to hang out with us. She's very confident among her sisters in the flock but doesn't lord over them. They all seem to like to be wherever she is, and she's unfazed by any drama in the flock. She's not a biter at all. Easy to hand feed and love on (once she submits). From day one, she's been the first to figure everything out and the first to reach each milestone. Has never picked on any of the other girls in our mixed flock. She may end up being lead hen, and if she does, I expect her to be a good, gentle, easy leader.
