“Purchased one of these girls in my last order. Worse hen I have ever come across. Hatched late August. Overwintered well, but was last to begin laying the following spring, actually around June! The smallest eggs you can imagine,(my grandfather would have said a crow snuck in and laid an egg!) On top of that she went boody 2 weeks after starting to lay these lilliputian eggs. Nothing and I mean nothing worked to break her.Tried to make the best of the situation and put some fertile eggs under her to see if she could hatch them out. Don't you know she kicked the eggs out of the nest! Finally mid July, she rejoined the living and started laying her tiny eggs again. Then last week (August) she goes broody again!!! Stays in he nest box all day except twice a day gets up, eats, drinks, and poops, then it's back to bed! To top it off she mean! Bullies Orpingtons, Rocks and even a very large Austerlope thats almost twice her size. Don't bother with this breed. If you would like pretty blue eggs stick with the EE.”
“Blanche is my favorite hussie of my GGirls! As a chic she was kinda distant, but she was the 1st to start laying, greets me every AM, eats outta my hand & even though Sophia has gone broody 3xs not her, she keeps it moving!”
“Our cream legbar, Unicorn, is one of the sweetest of the mixed breeds we ordered, the other is a dark brahma. She was the calmest "teenager" chicken I've ever seen! My 6 year old daughter bonded with her and it's so cute to watch them. Unicorn is now over a year old and consistently lays medium size blue eggs, she was also the first to lay at 18 weeks old.”
“Eggs are gorgeous. She‚Äôs our friendliest chicken, but is quite flighty and nervous. She‚Äôs part of a mixed flock and her nerves combined with her tiny size make her an easy target for pecking. She‚Äôs also quite vocal which is not always great in the city.”
“It's January 27th, it's currently snowing and 28 degrees in Maine. All 12 chicks arrived alive, in good health and full of energy. I expected at least two not to make it through shipping in the bitter cold, but they were packed with enough straw and heat packs to make the trip just fine. Thanks again!!!”
“I have always wanted one of these so I was so excited when our chicks came in! We ordered her for late July 2020 and she's now nearly point of lay, she has always been the nicest, cuddliest chicken. As a chick she would sit on my wrist whenever I had desk work to do, we called her the chicken corsage. She would spend an hour or more just hanging out on my shoulder or arm and never once showed any interesting in joining the other littles. Now she likes to follow me around and likes being carried around when I hang out with them. If I sit down she plops herself on my lap and loves to be petted to sleep. She gets alone fine with the other girls, but like the Mottled Houdan we got from here, she is very interested in what I'm doing and is very happy to sleep on my whenever she gets the chance. We are so pleased with her and would definitely order more CCL from MPC again.”
“My cream legbar is about two weeks old now and she is extremely sweet. She isn‚Äôt the least bit flighty and goes limp when I pick her up. She often jumps in my hand when I reach inside the brooder. She‚Äôll sit on my shoulder or in my lap as long as I will allow it. I know she‚Äôs young still but I LOVE this chick so far.”
“My Beaker (named for the Muppet) is just the most adorable little thing with her funny toupee! She‚Äôs much prettier than the stock photo with more gray coloring to her feathers. She lays Sea Foam green colored eggs. So while I was hoping for blue, they are still beautiful and she is a prolific layer! She is very quiet, but curious and friendly. She is the lowest in the pecking order, but she is lightening fast, zipping in and out to grab the choicest treats before anyone can peck her! I highly recommend this breed!”
