I have a Barred Rock too and I love her, even if she does get annoyed when I pick her up. I also have an EE who is a big flier and she can be a real cuddle bug. My RIR is a jerk. It doesn't matter if I'm feeding her or sitting minding my own business, but she likes to hack at my hand. She is my pet and I know a lot of people cull birds like that, but I don't have the heart to send her to the freezer. I had 2 RIRs, but one of them recently passed and she was very sweet - I got lucky, I suppose. Lastly I have a bantam hybrid (in my avatar). She lays teeny eggs but the yolks aren't much different in size, she has fuzzy feet, and is very gentle, but she's horribly skittish and won't let me pick her up - ever.
In conclusion, I think my EE is my favorite. :D:bun
