We have a mixed flock and our SS are by far the most inquisitive of the group. Stubby (so named because she has a wry tail) is always the first to greet me when I come outside. This is in part because she is always the first to figure a way our of the run. She might be smarter than me... She, and my other SS peck at the beads on my sandals and the lint on my pants and anything else on my person they are curious about. It's very cute and kinda painful too. Those beaks are sharp! They are always around when I am digging in the garden too.
The curiosity can be both good and bad, but I think even when they are causing trouble I only find it more endearing. I highly recommend them for backyard flocks. They are great pets! Oh, and they get more speckles every time they molt too, so they get prettier each year!
