Golden Lakenvelders Question

[drom]

Does anyone have any Lakenvelder hens? I just ordered a golden one because they are so pretty, but I keep reading that they are wild and flighty. I am not too sure what to make of that because all the breed profiles of the S. Buttercup say about the same thing and I love my little Buttercup. She is sweet and inquisitive and gets along great with my Barred Rock and EE girls. Doesn't seem nervous at all. In fact she seems to like it when I pick her up.
So I am wondering if the Lakenvelders are the same if they are socialized early.
Does anyone know?

Also, these pullets I have will be about 8 weeks ahead of my Lakenvelder chick. At what age should I try to put her in with the girls and could that be a real problem? I just have the 3 girls now; Buttercup, BR and EE.

Any opinions and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

It sounds like nobody really keeps these birds. But no one has said anything bad about them either. So, I guess they are not an undesirable bird.
I'm going to assume they are pretty rare, because no one, at least on this forum, has said a thing about them.
