“I have a flock of 100+ birds laying varied color eggs for sale. I have my ladies in groups according to breed. One of my favorites is the Golden Buff. They certainly do their job in terms of laying! But it is the personality that insures their place in my flock. This past spring, I had a little girl who would get on my porch and lay her daily egg in the box where I had my lettuce growing. Yea, my lettuce suffered a bit, but watching her come up and do her thing was so pleasant in a year filled with turmoil. These gentle souls are perfect for small flocks and homes with children.”
“We got our Holly in Sping 2020 in a motley crew of 5 hens. She was the first one to lay at 19 weeks and lays every single day. She was on the bottom of the pecking order as a chick, but currently she is on top (3 ladies aren't laying yet) and is now a bit of a jerk. She was a very adorable and sweet yellow chick and now fully feathered, she has beautiful coloring (stock photo does no justice). Happy we got her and will purchase again in the future!”
“My husband ordered 2 since they are such reliable egg layers and out of the 16 chicks we ordered these are definitely my favorite! They are the sweetest chicks that love to held and pet!!! They are 2 months old now and have the cutest personalities this will definitely be our go to when ordering more chicks next year!”
“We ordered 17 day-old chicks a year ago, a variety of (cold weather) breeds because we were new to chickens. The Red Stars have been the absolute best: good temperament, docile, don't eat eggs (that's been a problem), don't go cannibalistic (also a problem), lay HUGE brown eggs reliably, more healthy and resistant to mites, and they can be sexed by color at hatching!! (We got an accidental rooster of another breed.) We're about to re-up our flock, and planning to get 20-40, all Red Stars.”
“I ordered seven but one passed. The other six of these girls are about three weeks old. There on the ground in the run and coop along with fourteen full grown quail. Two of the quail sleep in the coop with the chicks. The chicks are very active, love meal worms and are friendly although I have not put much effort to make them that way. Thanks again to My Pet Chicken.”
“I purchased a couple groups of this chicken. They are the most friendly, loving sweet natured chicken we have ever had. We love these birds. They will jump up and sit on my shoulder.. or up on the can when I am getting the feed out. They are easy going, get along well with the other chickens, start laying early, have big brown eggs and rarely miss a day. What else can I say. WONDERFUL. They are an egg laying machine. I have never had one go broody on me. They are just the best. Love them. Cheryl”
“We have been buying Golden Buffs for about 5 years or more. They are the best. They lay so regular and after the first molt, the eggs are so much bigger. I cannot fit a lot of them in the standard egg box. We have a horse business and our clients love our eggs.”
“I was worried this would be my ‚Äúboring chicken‚Äù but she is the best! Pretty (much prettier than the picture!), friendly, quiet, and laid her first egg on her four month birthday! She had laid an egg every day since while the rest of the fancy colorful layers are still freeloaders. I love my little redhead!”
