“I got a super blue last fall. I was wondering if I would regret my decision after reading some of these comments. She is seriously the nicest chicken I've had to date. She wants to come hang out with you and she has the cutest cheeks ever! I must of gotten one from a different breeder?”
“My Super Blue, Hedwig, had a rough start. She was very weak from the shipping and almost died, but thanks to Pedialite and egg yolks, she pulled through. She's big now, and may I just say, she is stunning. She's so pretty, and she's very friendly, though she is still wary of humans other than me.”
“Our girl just started laying on the coldest day so far of the winter. She is the first out of all the day old chicks that arrived this summer. We are beyond thrilled.”
“I love my Belle. She's such a quirky bird. Loves to be held. Very funny personality. She basically lays every day. It's winter so I'm surprised she's still laying.”
“Even at 2 wks. our little yellow gal is bossy too. I can't imagine her as friendly and she does squawk a lot. Oh well, she's happy and I look forward to her eggs.”
“Marshmallow, our SBEL is our head hen even though she‚Äôs smaller than many of my others. When she was a chick she was the liveliest of the bunch and hasn‚Äôt slowed down. She‚Äôs very vocal, she alerts everyone when something is needed or there‚Äôs a treat around and she‚Äôs been this way since she was a chick. She can be very noisy before she lays, her eggs are a very light blue. She is mostly white but has a few black specks on her back. Her legs are slate green and gorgeous! She loves me and flies to my shoulder and hangs out there anytime I do chores in their run. She lets the kids handle her without fuss too!”
“These are our introduction to the chicken world, pricy but so far have been worth it. I ordered four hens and the chicks arrived healthy and chirping up a storm in late June, and I am expecting eggs any day now. While I can‚Äôt say anything about the eggs yet and might not until we get to longer days, I can attest to their personalities and looks. We wound up with three hens and a surprise roo, which the folks here at My Pet Chicken refunded without any problems. Seriously happy with the customer service!
One of the girls fell victim to a neighbor‚Äòs dog unfortunately, and the surviving girls are quite different both in temperament and appearance. Cordon Bleu is nice if not exactly sweet and doesn‚Äôt mind being picked up and loved on, and she has pretty white feathers splashed with varying intensities of silvery gray and a pea comb. Thunder Lightbulb is my tom boy - mildly aggressive, fearless, bossy, and will absolutely stand up to anything and anyone. She doesn‚Äôt attack but she will race across the yard to keep tabs on your every move and she holds her ground against unpredictable humans and roosters alike. She will allow some handling but only on her own terms, and she turned out a stunning pure white with a pea comb. In fact she looks exactly like the sample picture of the Snowy Easter Egger here on this site, she‚Äôs very striking. My roo Salmonella is protective, bossy, pushy, and I am hoping will not get huge bone spurs because he definitely does not like my husband and has tried to attack the poor man (but he‚Äôs mostly ok with the rest of the family.) He is very grumpy first thing in the morning and seems to have a very disapproving attitude with everyone and everything, but he does a great job as moderator and protector of the flock. I doubt he misses anything that moves in and above the back yard. He is white with faint cream splashes, almost like a ghost of a bar pattern in some spots. He‚Äôs also blocky and definitely more stout than the ladies with beautiful long tail feathers. They are all three very curious, smart, great foragers (too good in my mulched beds actually lol), not at all flighty, and while they definitely do some talking the girls aren‚Äôt very loud so they are a good bird for people with close neighbors. I did have to get a crow collar for little man because he was a crowing machine, but the collar works like a charm and he has resigned himself to the quiet life. We are happy with them thus far - they are beautiful birds, very entertaining, and have almost completely eliminated the ear wigs in the back yard which is why I am cool with raking mulch back where it goes on a weekly basis. Now we just need to see those blue eggs!”
“First chicks to lay, prolific layers - we are already getting one a day. Beautiful blue color, as promised! But Betty White and Truly Scrumptious get 4 stars instead of 5 because they are BOSSY and lean toward MEAN.”
