Oh, dont get me wrong! Mine is not nasty at all! I absolutely LOVE her! She is one of my favorite girls I have! It took me a long time to decide if I was gonna keep her or not, once she started laying she just turned sweet as sugar! But she knows me, I think it just takes them longer to get to know people, they just arent as trusting as other breeds. I handled her A LOT as well to gentle her down, so it IS totally doable and I would really suggest it, cause when this breed loves you they really love you! Mine is like a little dove just sits in my lap now and sings...cause they dont sound like chickens really at all. Give her a chance...I think you will really like her a lot! I'll get a picture of mine for you..
