“I purchased this particular chicken for the L white eggs. But at almost two months old, I almost dont feel its worth it...lol! These two Exchequer chicks have turned my other chicks against me! They sound an alert whenever I come near! They are SO flighty! They were out of the cage within 3 weeks! Flying all over as best they could! And they do NOT like being touched. Or looked at. Or really even talked about. I read the other reviews and saw that the eggs are NOT large and they aren't great layers and, if that turns out to be the case, in the pot they go. Its not MPC fault but I do feel these chicks are not for people who like to pick up their chickens. They are very pretty tho. And they are very healthy. Hopefully they will lay large white eggs.”
