Same as any other chicken I'd imagine. No good for taking walkies or playing fetch, though.

V small eggs.

Surprisingly yes, like I said it was whilst I was a kid, It was a soft old bird that seemed to like human company, it would sit on my shoulder and could somehow flutter up to the bedroom window of a morning.

Best though get a cockerel a few geese and really P off your neighbours.

We have 3 ex-battery hens (cost 50p each!).
They make superb garden pets :D.

I also considered getting exbatts but was a bit worried that they might be hard work for a first-timer.

Did it take them long to settle in etc?
