Pros: Friendly, pretty,cute
Cons: Broody a lot so not good for egg production
Great characters, all different. Friendly and very tough, last winter got down to -15 and they got through no problem. Have a lot of roosters together and apart from the occasional bust up they mostly tolerate each other fine but can be noisy. Luckily I have understanding neighbours!

Think they are slightly less destructive in the garden than my other mixed breeds and don't tend to stray as far.

Have to keep an eye on them in summer for chicken lice.

Still my favourite breed.
