Diamond Duchess Temperament

[Laurasb65]

I have 2 Diamond Duchess. Let me tell you I have never had sassier chickens. Their curious, kinda friendly, if try to give them food by hand they'll take your finger with it. They're always pecking at the other chickens, especially at night time. I understand pecking order, but they've taken it to another level. Wondering if anyone else's DD'S are like this
Both are 17 weeks.

I don’t have Diamond Duchesses, but I do have a Barred Rock, who I would guess has some common ancestry with DD’s?

We don’t currently have a pecking order, and none harass the others, but she is definitely food-driven and will happily try to remove any human body parts associated with a treat.

I have 3 BR and they're sweet, and easy going. Yes these 3 are always first for the food

Diamond Duchess is a new one for me. Are they some sort of OE/EE? What hatchery do they come from?

Mine’s neither sweet nor easy-going! She’s not mean, but she’s… anxious? Can pullets be anxious? And very hyper.

That’s her pic in my current avi.
