We have Rocks and all are super friendly. They will approach you and want to be handled. Not sure about how good of layers they are yet, as they are only a couple months old.
My fiance and I have been raising chicks for the last two months and are about to put them in our coop this weekend. SUPER excited!! 3 Barred Rocks and a White Rock. I've been reading the forums for a while now, but figured it was about time to join.
