Have had, but they were all cockerels, and not the common hatchery ones. I also currently have one but she's not the stereotypical hatchery EE either, which I assume is what they are getting.

But generally they are supposed to be friendly, you'll get some nice eggs.

I started out with Eggers as my first chickens! They're wonderful chickens! My girls are very food motivated and love taking dust baths. They're incredibly friendly and like to follow me around the yard. Their eggs are also very pretty

What's a 'stereotypical' EE? Given their varied DNA they are anything but stereotypical in my experience.

Many hatchery lines are bred through crossing EE x EE
