Amen! These birds are very friendly. I have rooster Freddie and his 2 hens right now. Rosie and Essie have just started laying eggs.
Rosie seems very protective of her egg tho when you go to pick them up. She comes over to the nest box and chatters away at me.
Yesterday I caught Freddie sitting on their eggs when I went to get them. Either he was tired and wanted a soft place to sit or he was telling me
"No more picking up the eggs! Rosie gets too upset and I can't stand her complaining to me all the time". I told him not yet in a few months Rosie can have her eggs if she is still interested in them.
We have 9 more eggs due to hatch out this week that I got from the same guy who sent me the 6 eggs last yr. Hope they have the same personality as these 3 have.
