“If I was only allowed one chicken, I would have to pick Brahma. She is the sweetest and the most gentle of all our birds. She is beyond cute with her huge fluffy butt and her feathered legs. She is kind to all the others and yet still at the top of the pecking order. She looks like an eagle, extremely beautiful! She laid her first egg at nine months old. I had read Brahmas lay medium eggs, but hers are definitely large, starting with the very first one. They are much bigger than the other hens that have been laying for four months already. If her size is a concern in mixing her with smaller chickens, worry not because she is kind to everyone! We have a little Hamburg and they are good friends.”
“We had two ordered and one did not make it first 2 days so sad. However, the one that did survive the trip we named her what I saw when she first came out of the box, Goodness Gracious, I said she was one big beautiful chick. Got her in August and has already gotten much bigger than the other 31 birds ordered with her. She is not a bully at all very sweet hen very calm, she has been a lap dog hen since a week old wants to be held. Now, she sits on your foot if wants attention to be picked up, pretty funny girl. Going to order more when they get back in stock, enjoying her so much. We're just so very sorry we lost her sister. They are a beautiful coloring, quite striking to see a real one, and so glad we ordered this breed she is magnificent!”
“Miss Valise (she doesn‚Äôt speak French, so she‚Äôll never get the joke) is already a full head taller than her flockmates, and she uses that height to size me up from the far side of objects: whether it‚Äôs her waterer, the suspended heater, the perches; her head is usually suspended above, and she‚Äôs side-eyeing me with great suspicion.
I thought for sure she’d be the Queen Bee because of her size, but her bantam “sister” Swimsuit has her running scared so far. This could all change once sizes get finalized, but to date, no one is going to accuse her of being brave. She does have some status based on her proclivity to accidentally stomp on her sisters while running in terror, but they’ll likely see through that eventually.
Her feathers are already stunning and richly detailed, sort of like tipsily seeing a Louis Vuitton suitcase from a distance (hence her name.) She‚Äôs a lovely, slightly timid sweetheart, who narrowly escaped being named Bovine, so she‚Äôs already lucky. We pretty much adore her.”
“Received my chicks in perfect shape, nice and healthy! My Dark Brahma is about 9 months old now. She's grown to be quite a beauty and very loving. She has a bit of a stern look to her face, but she is super sweet to people and other birds, never picks a fight and loves her lap time. Stunning feathering too - the above pics don't do them justice - very beautiful birds. Big heavy girls that do like to eat and perhaps don't lay the biggest eggs but they do get bigger. (They start pretty small - but now a decent size). Pretty quiet too. And wait to you see them run, you will have a little giggle every time! Highly recommend!”
“Love all your chickens! Since I had to get a substitution, I didn't get my Dark Brahma, That's the only reason for a 3 star rating! All the other chicks were happy and healthy and beautiful!”
“Received my (17) day old chicks all in good shape. We lost 4 during the 1st week but all the others are doing fine. Almost 8 weeks old, happy & healthy. We're very pleased!”
