I noticed immediately that similar personality about mine too. She'll let me pet on her without hesitation. My Speckled Sussex and Golden Lace are next in order of friendly and curious with me. Or maybe it's the fresh picked dandelions and treats I bring them? Lol No matter. We're stuck together...
