Our new Daisy Belle (named Daisy) doesn't have the restraining influence on Snowflake (our Light Sussex) that our previous chickens did, she's just as curious and energetic and they make quite a pair dashing about and getting into everything. It makes digging in the garden more interesting, trying to avoid the chickens as they leap in to grab any worms. On the plus side they are both reliable layers and always lay promptly in the morning making it easier to grab the eggs before the magpie's get them.
The chickens have now decided that the front windowsill is a perfect place for their morning roost. I can see the attraction, its a warm, dry, sheltered spot with the bonus of an interesting view.
