Our EE is by far the friendliest and most personable of the 3 chickens we currently have (the other 2 are RIR's). She's very curious and the first to notice things but also cautious whenever anything new is introduced into the coop or outside enclosure. She's not fond of being handled but always comes right up to us and "chats" while our RIR's couldn't seem to care less if we are around or not. She's such a beautiful girl (dark strawberry blond with black markings) that it's a pleasure just watching her.
