“These are a must-have! They are super smart and friendly (always first in line for treats) and they are hardy layers of unique spotted eggs. Ours have survived several Minnesota winters with no problem.”
“We had a Welsummer named Buckeye from our March batch. Sweetest chicken. Quite the talker, loved going out to seeing her! Never seen a chicken run so fast for scratch! She ended up being top of the pecking order and kept everyone in line.”
“Cornflake is definitely the friendliest chicken in our flock! From day 1 she has always wanted to be by my side and even sits on my shoulder while I'm out doing yard work. She's always the first to try something new and she's for sure at the top of the pecking order, but gentle and sweet - just bossy! By far my favorite hen (and it's hard to pick a favorite!)”
“Got 2 hens and both are the best. They're not afraid of the dogs and sit with them on the porch. Get on my lap and just lay down. They lay smaller dark brown eggs about 4 days a week.”
“I purchased 4 hens a little over a year ago. They are very calm and lay large dark brown eggs with speckles.. One lays a lighter cream color with bigger spots. 3 of the 4 have been broody.. But snap out of it quickly when I put them in "Broody Jail" for a couple days.. They are not mean when broody at all, very easy to handle. Over all I really love them”
“If you have a small yard with close neighbors I don't recommend this breed. They are beautiful and lay such pretty dark brown eggs but they are screamers.”
“Ordered 2 of these and comparative to our white leghorn and barred rock chicks these are almost twice the size of the 6 other chicks we ordered. They also established themselves as top of the pecking ordered on the 2nd day.”
“My two girls lay beautiful eggs, but they are so flighty. When receiving them via USPS both were the smallest chicks in the box, shipping seemed to have been the hardest on them too. Both are antisocial to say the least. They don‚Äôt interact with their flock mates (including each other)and seem to have no desire to. They lay beautiful very dark brown eggs daily, and are quickest in/out of the nest. I would purchase again because of their great egg laying, but If your looking for a friendly pet chicken this is not the breed for you.”
