We have our gold laced Wyandotte and she has blossomed into a beautiful bird.
At first she was shy and didn't want any human interaction at all.
She has finally got her confidence and free ranges all day and quite late into the evening.
She has attached herself to me and sits by the backdoor like a puppy dog waiting for me to go and see her & follows me everywhere 'talking' to me (that's very sweet)
However, this is a good and bad aspect, she can be noisy. She produces a 'warning call' to the rest of the birds if she thinks there is a predator, unfortunately it is usually only a butterfly!
Not a great layer but it doesn't matter as she is so loveable and funny even the kids play with her.
Definitely a family favourite & a great pet. You might get a few eggs too!
