I have Orpington and had Speckled Sussex ....My two favourite breeds along with Brahma....Yeah, I just double checked our hatchery's website and not only does it say "extremely docile" about the Easter Eggers, it also says "active and friendly." So far all the other breeds we got (Buff Orpington, Speckled Sussex, Partridge Rock, Cuckoo Maran) are living up to the hatchery's description, but not this one...
