Oh gosh Pop, thanks for that advise! My kidlets are 18 weeks now and starting to mate and do the rooster-shuffle but not at me yet. My bantams have short man syndrome and are mean to the other hens and roos but no one has come to dance with me yet fortunately. As for Ameraucanas being friendly, mine fit that bill. I have 3 bantams that I think are brown leghorns but I'm not sure, and they are jerks. My Ameraucanas are my sweet boys though. I'm sad that I'll be sending a few to table soon.
