I have two of these birds and both are great birds. They love treats out of my hand and will run right up to me almost any time I walk out of the house. One is a dependable layer of large brown eggs. The other was before she got sick and has yet to restart. The only con to this bird is that I've read (and now experienced) that hatchery stock breeding leaves them prone to hormonal issues that cause internal laying and other problems. Certainly doesn't affect most birds, I just got one that it did. Certainly won't prevent me from getting more.
