Madbird Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I am picking one up this Sunday! Also wanted one for ages. They are very docile and layed back.. Reasonable layers (and will lay in winter)- the LF are less likely to go broody than the bantam version and they tolerate handling well and become quite tame. There are a couple of people on here who keep them I believe - glad you have found a breeder near to you and good luck! Just watch them in a mixed flock - they are big softies and may let themselves get bullied! (Pictures when you get them ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruth1 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 They are lovely birds, although big softies and in my experience are prone to being bullied as they are so laid back. My Ella had a fantastic personality and loved people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
