My last SLW, she was never broody, but she never made it to her first birthday (stupid racoons), she was a hatchery hen, but was beautiful (at least to me!) She had an excellent laid back personality and would let us pick her up and carry her around. However, she was a little bossy with the other girls, but it wasn't bad. After we lost her, we had to get two more SLW's, the flock seemed incomplete without one. I need to post some pics....not sure about their exact age or sex!
