None of my Welsummers were "friendly" but then none of my poultry are friendly because I do not make pets out of any of them. My Welsummers were nice calm birds. The other thing that I like about Welsummers is they have a nice big body cavity making it easier to process them.Mine is horrible. She is the dumbest bird I've ever had, and is not friendly at all. She is a total spaz. She even went through a sleeping in the nest box phase. I let her live because she's a survivor, and I'm a little curious to see how long she'll make it. The birds I dislike are always the ones that live the longest.
