“Gretchen is one year old this week and layed first right amongst the buffs, reds and rocks! Her eggs are smaller, but she lays 5-6 bright blue eggs per week consistently, and methodically, even through our deep south winter thus far. Where the others have gone broody or faltered due to molting or whatever, she has remained steadfast in her egg-laying. She even escaped the clutches of two raccoons, loosing a crap-ton of feathers in the melee, and continued her laying two days later! What a warrior! Wish I could afford more.”
“Our gal is named Annie and she is quite the lady. Obviously she is pretty but her personality makes her a stand out. She is mild tempered and sweet. I highly recommend these if you want to add a pretty sweet girl to your flock. Annie is a good layer and she has a lovely temperment.”
“Our new girl ‚ÄúHey-Hey‚Äù (can you tell my kids like Moana?) is so sweet! We absolutely love her little fluff on top of her head. She‚Äôs not at all skittish and will fall asleep in your hands while holding her. She loves to have her neck petted and is a very calm bird. I‚Äôm hoping she will be another lap chicken for us as we are total lap chicken nuts around here. Very pleased with this chick and looking forward to some beautiful blue eggs.”
“We got Amy, our only CCL (Crested Cream Legbar, as described by the hatchery we used) in early 2015. That's only a sample of one, but we'll get at least one more the next time we order chicks. We paid $35, which is a lot for one chick, but she's been way more than worth the small extra cost. Amy has been a great pet and a good layer. Lots of quirky personality, graceful and athletic, independent and a good forager. The breed has a reputation for being flighty and some say unfriendly. Amy loves being held, but she plays a teasing game, and she likes to be grabbed suddenly and picked up. Then she falls asleep, snuggled in our arms.”
“Of all of our breeds of chickens, this one is the family favorite! Our cream legbar is so friendly, so sweet and was the first of the flock to start laying (at 21 weeks). She is so comfortable with us that she will sit for extended periods of time and even laid an egg on one of my son‚Äôs lap! My children also sneak her in the house sometimes because they adore her so much!”
“New favorite chicken breed! Even my husband who insists the chickens are ‚Äúmy thing‚Äù loves this chicken! Layed first egg at 5 months old and such a beautiful shade of sage green! She is incredibly friendly and super curious in anything we do. Will definitely be buying more!”
“I used my pet chicken to order my first chicks there was so helpful and courteous on the phone and my chicks arrive happy and healthy at 2 weeks old now they are thriving I would highly recommend my pet chicken to anyone thinking of ordering baby chicks.”
