“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.”

“My hen has grown into a lively chicken full of personality. She is very friendly, does not mind being handled, and is very talkative without being loud. She always runs to me first thing to ask for treats, always brightens my day.
The only issue I've run into is that she likes to fly. (She will even fly up to my shoulder to get at treats) So you need to have a plan on place of you want to let them roam free in your back yard. I ended up having to clip some feathers to buy me some time to build a better run.
Granted I am going off a small sample size, but so far i'd happily recommend this bird for first time chicken owners. Just be prepared to have treats at the ready!”
“Chess is a riot! We absolutely love her. She is at the top of the pecking order, but never bossy or mean. She is curious and adventurous, always the first to hop out of her coop when the door opens or someone comes around. Also - she's GORGEOUS!”
