Your welcome. I see you live in Mo You might try someone like Kathy for some good birds.Originally Posted by FOGELLY
"I have Columbian Rocks, and although they are still young they are very good natured.
I don't think color is an indicator of temperament.
The birds you are talking about probably came from a hatchery I would guess?
Their temperament is more of an indicator of what the hatchery may have crossed them with to get their color and egg production.
Years ago before we replaced all of our hatchery birds, my wife wanted some Gold Lace Wyandotte. I ordered 25 pullet chicks from one of the oldest hatcheries in USA. 7 of them grew out with straight combs!
Those 25 were some of the wildest chickens we have ever owned. Mean to the other chickens and next to impossible to handle.
This is one of the reasons we now only have true Heritage breeds we aquired thru small breeders."
