Personality of these three breeds.

[Lizzy2825]

Anyone who has owned any of these breeds listed, how is their personality? I know each chicken is different but I was just wondering overall.
1. Blue/Black/Splash Orphington
2. Cream Legbar
3. Olive Egger

Also, how did everyone introduce chickens to their OG (original) flock?

I’ve only had Buff Orpingtons, but I think all Orps are the same. Gentle and friendly.

All I have had on that list is an Orpington although mine was a buff. She was very friendly, more so than any chicken I had have had before or since. Recently got a few more Orpingtons chicks, buff and lavender.

Olive Eggers are a mixed breed and can vary greatly in personality from bird to bird. I have 3 olive Egger girls, BCM x Amerucana and BCM x Isbar, one is shy, one is an idiot false alarm who screams out a warning call anytime a leaf falls or the wind blows and one is a complete sweetheart! If you happen to know the exact breeds that make up your prospective green layers, sometimes you can make an educated guess, but otherwise, they're just like Easter Eggers and it's a surprise every time!

As for introduction, I use side by side coops so they can look but don't touch for a few weeks with feeders against the middle fence, and then mingle them once they are fine eating together.
