They are very great birds. Amazing egg layers. Very friendly. I would love to have a LOT of these.

I adore my silkies. SImply adore. I could never ask for a better bird.

I have a partridge Rock and she is the absolute BEST. She is, by far, our sweetest chicken. She gets along well with the others. She never pesters or bullies anybody. She doesn't mind being touched and held. She is a very good egg layer and never hides her eggs from us, like some of our others do.

I have the buff orpington bantams and most of them were MEAN. We only have one sweet hen. She is very skittish and fast, but once you catch her, she doesn't mind being held. They don't like to be held, nor touched.

I ADORE my New Hampshire. She is one of our sweetest chickens. She runs up to you when you walk outside and follows you around. Plus, she is gorgeous.

I had six golden laced polish. One died as a chick, two were killed by dogs, one was culled because he was attacking my mother, the last two are still with us. We were left with one rooster and one hen. Our rooster is FANTASTIC. He is very good to our hens and leaves us alone for the most part, though he does challenge me every once in a while. I like them a lot, but they are too skittish. They're not the type of bird that would be kept as a pet (with exceptions of course).
Most people say they are not good in a mixed flock because they can't see, but ours do very well.
One of our problems is that our hen hides her eggs. We haven't had a Polish egg in months, which is horrible because we wanted to hatch a few.
I wouldn't recommend this bird for people who want pets, but if you want them for viewing, they are a good choice. We are even thinking of ordering a few silver laced sooner or later.
