“These lil ginger girls are so healthy! They have already taken on the top spots in the pecking order with my other chicks. The top spot belongs to my Red Star with chipmunk strips! She’s so cute and not even the biggest but full of sass!!”
“These girls are egg machines. Docile little dinosaurs. Our girl Rose reached egg age in winter. 35degree days and upper teen nights. She started laying and has not stopped for over two months now. Even through two weeks of evil heavy snow, wind and finally rain. Trees and heavy snow build up destroyed the run but she laid right on thru it. If you want a friendly layer, this is for you. Just remember. Chickens only have so many eggs and heavy layers stop laying sooner even though they can live 5 or more years.”
“They started laying at four and a half months. Now, a little over six months old, one of them missed laying one day. It was so hot that I wished they would take a break. The eggs are almost as big as they are (exaggeration of course. They can only free range when I am outdoor with them, but they have a huge run. During their out time, they prefer to stay near me a lot, run off come back shortly. Just love these birds.”
“Ordered 12 spring of 2021. Reviewing 2022 august.
A few were less strong than others, but majority were exceptionally healthy. All survived with minimal intervention (except 1 required notably more). Laid on time, nice, good quality Large eggs. No health issues with any to date. Friendly even with minimal effort on a day to day basis. I was able to separate the weaker ones of the group which helped them thrive until they were able to catch up.”
“My two hens were born on Feb 14th. I got my first egg today, in 90+ heat. Of all my hens, current and those owned over the years, these two red stars have been my favorites Audrey and Ariel are smart (steal bread treats from my pocket) and ever so sweet. They get along well with the other birds, love to be petted and carry on a nice, lyrical conversation. Since they came in Feb. I had time to socialize the 8 of them and that may be a big difference. They prefer my company to other birds. While all 8 are friendly these two stand out in the group. So glad I stumbled on them. My Pet Chicken is great at communication and first class shipping conditions. Would love to know the cross that produced them!”
“She was born on Valentines day. Audrey and Ariel were shipped with four Lavender Orphintons (a hard act to follow). She and Ariel (Red Stars) stood out from the beginning. I almost missed the experience of. owning these two and picket them due to early laying. Audrey prefers my company to that of the flock and Ariel is not far behind. Since all 8 of my birds have great personalities, a standout is exceptional. Mine started life in our shower, graduation to two huge boxes indoors and were handled a lot by my granddaughter and me. The extra attention during a less busy time of year really pays off. Handle them enough that they enjoy it, but not too much. There is a fine line. Birds are prettier than the picture.
Also have two barbed rocks that shipped with them. Shipping was perfect, they came into Ga. the next day, well packaged for the weather.”
“These are the sweetest, smartest, most "helpful" hens I've ever known. We have a mixed flock of 5 different breeds and these are by far the most intelligent. They lay very well and consistently. We like this breed so much we discussed having a flock of ONLY Golden Buffs when the rest of our girls have gone on. They are also super cute and helpful in the garden. Whenever we are tilling up an area they come right over in the middle of the work and start digging around. The other girls will be off in another part of a yard but our Goldens want to be right by us - like dog-chickens. Highly recommend this breed and My Pet Chicken has been great to work with.”
