Mary, I've heard other people say that LS can be a bit feisty but I think thats down to the strain of LS that you keep, rather than to the breed in general. The nastiest cocks that I've kept have actually been RIR. The LS females are real softies too. I have one or two of them that have managed to come up with a system of getting past the electric fencing. Every evening when its time for them to go back into their pens and sheds for the night, they follow me around like little dogs.
