“We accidentally got a rooster instead of a hen. He turned out to be quite the little gentleman. He is great with our kids and even followed my oldest kid around the yard in the summer. He is'nt the great roo, in terms of breeding. No chicks yet. But my hens aren't the biggest fan of letting a dude, come into their girl squad. So there that. He does like to strut his stuff around the yard and let his presence be known. He is quite the strange Roo and I kind of prefer that way!”
“I ordered two Rhode Island Reds because I heard about how many big eggs they lay. I wasn't expecting them to be super friendly chickens. Flame is a very curious chicken and is ok with a couple pets. She also loves to eat out of my hand. The other one Flare is nervous of a lot of movement but will eat out of my hand. I am looking forward to when they start laying eggs.”
“I have a Rhode Island Red in my flock she is a very reliable egg layer. And is a very good chicken. her name is penny. And I would really consider getting one!”
“My RIR from MPC was the first of my chicks to lay. She was flighty but not mean. I see a lot of RIRs that friends/neighbors get from TSC and such and mine was by far the most beautiful with darker red lacing on the tip of her feathers. She was killed in a dog attack, sadly. I ordered another one for my mixed flock for this spring. Can‚Äôt wait!”
“Love my redheads! So social and just loves to chat with people. Follows me around. Wants to go for a car ride. Tells me she wants her breakfast. Just love them!!”
“My RIR is one of the meanest birds I have. She is constantly trying to pick a fight with my family, and is top of the pecking order. She protects the flock with so much attention, and loves to be held by me. She lays the biggest brown eggs ever, and is one of the hardiest birds Ive ever had. I enjoy her presence, as she has a very nice consciousness about her.”
“My two RIRs are wonderful birds! But they're always the last to leave the coop??? A little skiddish, sometimes they hide in the corner, but very quiet. They just turned 6 months, so we'll see...”
“All 4 are now laying. The first two started around 20 weeks and the last one started by the 25th week. They arrived at our local post office exactly as expected last April and we tried to take very good care of them this whole time. Our hard work is paying off but I also think we got great stock and would recommend buying from mypetchicken. We will buy from them again when the time comes.”
