Is it best to separate Easter Eggers from the rest of the flock?

Our EEs all have really different personalities. We had 5 and some were very brave and ranged far from home (which is why we have 4 now...). A couple are super skittish. The other two are just... chickens.

The most important thing to remember is that while all of them have some Ameraucana or Araucana in their backgrounds for the blue-egg gene, there's no real way to know what the rest of the mix is. It could be Leghorn, Rock, Sussex, who knows what. And all those birds could contribute some of their breed personalities to the mix as well.

Just like mutt dogs, each bird will be different due to different genetics. There's absolutely no reason to segregate them unless one is REALLY getting picked on.
