I had some for a short time and can tell you mine were extremely flighty and very hard to handle. They were very fast also. I didnt care for them.

Handle her daily. they can be very good birds to have around. the roosters can start breeding at 12 weeks, and hens can start laying sometimes at 15 weeks. I had some that started crowing at 5 weeks old.
white eggs
a bit flighty
but will add "pretty" to just about anything
oh, and that straight up tail is very dominant

I had some for awhile, and they were pretty flighty too.
They lay a small to medium sized white egg.

They are very good flyer's and they range pretty far if let out. Mine actually left after they had been free-ranging for awhile. They just kept ranging farther and farther until they left for good.
Part of that was one of DH's game roosters kept pushing them farther out also.

They are very pretty birds and very fast movers. I really like their looks.

we have 4 of them and so far out of our 25 I like them the least. They dont like to be held, and they run around like roadrunners!

Maybe I better spend more time with them

Thanx for the info! I have noticed that the more we hold her, the nicer and calmer she gets.
