I understand the EE's are more flighty as a breed, it just drives me crazy. I would like to eventually not have them but my Hubby loves em.But i know when my roo passes i will be very saddened, hes so freaking handsome! When we do bird checks for mites and such we get them off the roost at night. Some are use to it and others raise the roof but they get through it. I like them really but I have found I am addicted to LF breeds that are much more mellow.
