Now I have Golden Comet hens, which are a RIR/White Rock mix and they are MAJOR feather pickers! Mean ol' chooks! ALL of the Golden Comets have bare butts and a lot of them have barely any head feathering!
I have to say, so far, I LOVE MY BUFF ORPS!!! I have a lil' half blind 3 month old who runs up to me and sits on my shoes untilI pick her up and when I'm giving treats she sits on my shoulder and steals right out of my hand! LOL So cute! And my roos! They are so gentle lwith the hens AND each other! Yea, they chase each other but NEVER have I seen them actually attack...
So to make a long story short I would NEVER get the two above mixes! They are/were AWFUL!
