Good layers. Docile. Very Beautiful.
These are beautiful chickens. I ordered these two years ago from cackle hatchery and have only lost one of the seven I received (a fox got her). These are very healthy chickens. Good layers. They tamed down very easily and were definitely big pets. Will follow you anywhere. They like water for some reason. Mine will not stay out of it. The rooster is very docile and the biggest pet out of the flock. Very striking in the yard. Many compliments about how beautiful they are.
