I have Blue Laced Red Wyandotte 5 week old chicks....They are actually pretty friendly for only 5 weeks of handling. My Lavender Orpingtons are the ones who are NOT friendly. I really think it depends on the breeding line they come from. I got mine from a breeder NOT a hatchery. So that may be the difference. They are starting to show their lacing quite a bit...it is fun to watch them change! Another thing I noticed is that the Wyandottes feathers are SO soft and fluffy! The Orpingtons are alot more coarse. So far I prefer the personalities of the Wyandottes over my Orps.
