“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.”
“She's about 10 weeks now and so far, so good. She is the least friendly of the bunch but still friendly and docile. She comes running when she sees me and will jump on my lap/shoulders.”
“I purchased these Comets back in spring this year 2021 and I don‚Äôt regret it! Intelligent and one of the first ones to make friends with me and my family! They showed they was courage‚Äôs since they was a baby chick and till today and smart as a whip? I could tell you stories but to long!! Lol I‚Äôm glad I went with them! I read a review on here that the photos don‚Äôt do them any justice and so I‚Äôm telling you they‚Äôre much more prettier in person! You won‚Äôt regret getting them! And they lay everyday since they started!! Extremely happy!”
“We only ordered one of these beauties for our small backyard flock, but our Red Star is the best layer. She was the first to lay at around 22 weeks and has been consistent ever since. We get a XXL brown egg everyday (well she takes off a day once every few weeks). Our Red Star hen has beautiful strawberry blond feathers and it quite the personality. She is the leader in the picking order but she still friendly with the other chickens and is easy to handle. I would highly recommend this breed to anyone.”
“They are all laying now and never miss a day. I trained them to the nesting place with wooden eggs. One Mille Fleur d‚ÄôUccles rooster escorts every move they make. I have four more Mille Fleur d‚ÄôUccles in the group with more on order. I moved the quail out when they were almost grown because they were so tiny next to them and was afraid the larger birds would harm them. They are free ranged so the feed cost is low. I will be ordering more. Oh, one likes to sit on my head before bedtime every now and then :)”
“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.”
