Pekin, Cream Legbar and Olive Egger temperaments?

[SnowyClucks]

Hi y’all, SUPER excited because I am picking up chicks in 4 days. 3 of the chickens i’ve reserved are one pekin, cream legbar, and one olive egger. What are these chickens like in a flock and how are they with humans? I know that silkies are typically chill and docile, but idk what the ither 3 are like. I dont care about egg production, just personality. I wouldn’t mind some lap chickens or, at the very least, chill ones that will let me hold them for health checks without complaining haha. These are the 4 i am getting fyi:
- Silkie
- Cream Legbar
- Pekin
- Olive Egger

Tell me your stories and experiences about these breeds!

I had six Pekins. Despite being hand-raised, they were very wiggly for handling. Two were lap chickens (but no petting allowed). Most of all, they were the SASSIEST birds! Loved enforcing the pecking order on each other. They really needed a rooster to (hopefully) keep order.

But when they lay, they lay like champs! Super cute too. Wouldn’t get them again, but I see why some people love them.
