Pretty hen! Sometimes I think there is a fine line between mean/aggressive and ultra curious/interactive. I got rid of a roo that bit a hole in my leg, but I love the pullet I hatched from crossing him. I don't always name my chickens, but I refer to her as "bold girl". She is very curious, and if I try to use my hands to herd her indoors at the end of the day, she will chest bump my hand. She's a funny chicken.Walked into one of the coops today and one of my young OE's (hopefully, she's not yet laying) jumped onto my shoulder. She is the friendliest chicken I've ever had. The strangest part to me is that her dad turned out to be very mean. I bred him before realizing that when he was pretty young. He became chicken soup later. Both chicks from him are very sweet pullets though. No roos. I was worried they might inherit his temperament, but nope! I usually sell the hens that turn out to lay brown eggs, but this one's a keeper no matter what.![]()
