“Coco is 22 weeks old and just started laying last week. Her eggs are a light green - not olive, but definitely green. She was the first to lay in this spring group. She‚Äôs not snuggly, but is by no means flighty. She is not afraid of the mean older chickens, and she has no problem getting under my feet or jumping on my shoulder to check if I have any treats, and loves a good head pat. She‚Äôs probably my ugliest chicken (I see why people say they look like road runners), but her giant floppy comb and confident personality make up for it. I don‚Äôt understand the negative reviews... I‚Äôm glad I ordered this chicken.”
“I was going to wait until Olive was bigger to write this review, but the negative reviews about this precious girl are so baffling that I had to tell about my experience. Olive is 18 weeks old now (no sign of egg laying yet). She looks like the picture except she does not have the big red comb yet, and the picture doesn‚Äôt show that she has very, very long legs. She is absolutely gorgeous and reminds me of a rainbow... and a road runner. Her mohawk is beyond cute, but I‚Äôm not sure if that will go away when her comb grows? She runs up to me for treats and doesn‚Äôt back away unless I try to pet her. None of my chickens - Brahma, Wyandotte, Hamburg, Cochin, Sussex, and Olive - care for being touched though, and I held/petted them since day one. Olive is slightly more upset by being touched than the others. She is very sweet and inquisitive and gentle. She is one of the larger chickens, just slightly smaller than huge Brahma, yet she is low on the pecking order, maybe because of how gentle she is? She often wanders off by herself, but not too far away, and I don‚Äôt worry much because she is physically so big, strong, and healthy. She does nothing wrong that would make her not be a favorite chicken. If your entire flock was Partridge Olive Eggers, and you wanted snuggly chickens, it would probably be disappointing, but one or two of these is a great choice! Olive was a substitute, and at first I was upset, because as a baby, she was definitely the one that liked me the least. As she has grown though, I have come to love her so much and would strongly recommend her as an addition to any varied flock. My flock of 6 is amazing and I would also recommend those breeds for good contrast, beauty, charm, and most of all entertainment! Mypetchicken sexed all 6 of my chickens correctly. They all arrived healthy and full of spunk. Customer service is beyond incredible.”
“Ordered one of this breed to get green eggs again after losing our still super-productive six year old Easter egger...but unfortunately her eggs are tiny and brown. Comical road-runner looking bird, but I will miss my colorful egg basket”
“My girl gave me large and pretty apple green eggs for about 8 months and then just stopped laying for no rhyme or reason. She's about 2.5 years now. She's not sick and hangs with the other girls, and eats well, but I would not get this partridge variety again. She is not very pretty, is very skittish, and without eggs is a big disappointment.”
“Ordered 2 females, one turned out to be rooster. 3 out of our 9 females ordered are now confirmed roosters (and counting, only 3 1/2 months old). Beautiful birds but we didn‚Äôt need or want so many roosters - now I‚Äòll have them until they die of old age due to wife and kids considering them pets.”
“Olivia is 1 year old now and lays beautiful olive colored eggs. She loves to free range while I clean the coop and run but she‚Äôs the first one in when I yell here Chicky Chicky. Very friendly girl who enjoys being picked up.”
“I have a very diverse flock of chickens because I buy for unique qualities, not just egg production. The 2 pullets I ordered were hard to wait for. Shortly after their arrival Esther caught my attention. She looked....different. She is now Elvis and we couldn‚Äôt be happier (the 1 and only time we ‚Äúaccidentally‚Äù got a rooster). He is gorgeous and sweet. Extremely gentle with his ladies and has NEVER been aggressive with humans. Olive, his sister, just began laying this week and her eggs are stunning. She is the one who‚Äôs a bit aggressive! We adore them.”
