“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.”
“We got Olivia in 4/2019 and she started laying at 19 weeks. She lays beautiful olive-green eggs and she‚Äôs super sweet. When she‚Äôs out free ranging, she comes running whenever I call here Chicky Chicky. She doesn‚Äôt mind being handled and she‚Äôs very curious.”
“My POE named "Harper" is a nice tempered, large bird. She's a prolific layer (5-6 per week) and gets along with all the other chickens. She was larger and a bit of a bully when she arrived but soon mellowed out and I enjoy petting her and listening to her "conversation". Over a year old and never gone broody.”
“Our little partridge olive egger arrived in June, and yesterday she laid her first egg - and it's so olive! I'm talking a nice, dark true olive that's better than any of the eggs in that pic above. Honestly, I didn't think you could get this color in an F1 cross! I'm ecstatic (egg-static?) about this and take frequent trips to the kitchen just to gawk at the little green gem on the counter.
Philippa herself is also very nice. She looks like a cream legbar without the crest, with a bit of a penedesenca carnation comb. She's not as in-your-face friendly as some of our hens, but she's sweet and very quiet and enjoys being petted gently. We love her.”
“I wish I'd known just how ridiculously broody these are before I placed my order. I can't have roosters where I live and there's a strict limit to how many hens we're allowed which means I'm constantly having to deal with breaking broodies. I now have a cage permanently set up in my run for this purpose. It's kind of a nightmare.”
