Cons: none so far
I have only had these guys/gals for about 24 hours...so not much to say so far. They are only about 2 week old chicks as of right now.

I have two hens of these and they are my most trusty egg layers. A truly beautiful chicken. Highly recommended.
Good birds that I have found to be a solid foundation or core for the flock. Dependability of egg production is a huge perk.
Helps that one of the hens, Rocky, has attached herself to me as well and follows me around the yard.
My NHR pullet is a sweet girl. She's friendly yet a bit skittish but will eat from your hand. Not that easy to catch for health assessments. She has beautiful plumage when she's not molting or being mated constantly (she's one of the roos' favorites). She bares confinement well but loves to be out in the fresh air scratching around for bugs and worms to munch on. She lays large dark brown eggs on a regular basis. She gets along well with the rest of the flock and keeps the younger ones in line. She's a beautiful bird and an essential part of our flock!
Breed Details: I currently have 6 New Hampshire Reds and they are the best birds ever! I can handle them really well and they are not flighty like smaller breeds. All of my birds come running to me when they see a bread bag or some leftovers. My New Hampshires lay an egg every day and 99% of the time it's a very large egg. My hens get along with my other birds very well and are very heavy birds. Most of them weigh about 7 to 8 pounds and they feather out very quickly. |
