I love this breed! Although, one hen became so broody, she tried attacking me, but that I did not allow. I always grab my aggressors and pet them, hold them carry them around, grab her beak in nest if she tried to bite me. They really do quit being brats if you take action, it works for me. I ordered more for my new flock.

I really enjoyed my black copper marans. I had one, who would see me and run after me, bawling like she was saying "maw maw maw" all my chickens were spoiled. These hens really fought over the nests and would peck my Easter egger and americauna's while they tried laying, til they drew blood. All my problems were because I did not have enough room for these hens. I had to give to a free ranging 100% farm.. Please learn from my mistakes, I hope. If you go by the books and from others experiences, you should have no problems raising chickens.. Colors ranged from black with iridescent colors with black eyes, black with some brown tints with brown eyes. Neat variety..

I really loved getting my two brown leghorns. They were so flighty as chicks, they made my other chicks flighty too, when my other chicks normally would not be. They did come around when they got older, they were less flighty. If I get more leghorns, I may spend more time with them, just sitting with them as chicks. Not sure if they will ever be a calm chicken.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHICKENS. SHE WAS ONE OF MY PETS. I WOULD GET RID OF HENS THAT PICKED ON HER, BECAUSE SHE WAS MY FAVORITE HEN. I NAMED HER BELLE, SHE WAS A PRETTY EASTER EGGER. SHE LAID GREEN EGGS, AND THEY WERE MY FAVORITE EGGS. PEOPLE SAY EGGS ALL TASTE THE SAME BUT I DISAGREE, I LIKED THESE THE BEST. I DID ORDER MORE EASTER EGGERS, THESE EGGS ARE MY FAVORITE.

I LOVED MY FIRST RED STARS, I THINK BECAUSE MY ROOSTER KEPT THEM IN LINE (got rid of him because of my husband) EVERY TIME A NEW HEN CAME INTO THE GROUP, THEY ATTACKED THEM, NOT JUST PECKED THEM TO PUT THEM IN THEIR PLACE, THEY GRABBED THEM AND FLIPPED THEM IN THE AIR. I WOULD RAISE THESE HENS TOGETHER AND MAYBE INTRODUCE NEW HENS IN A FREE RANGE SITUATION. GREAT LAYERS, THEY LAID EVERY DAY NO MATTER THE WEATHER. I ONLY HAVE ONE THAT IS NOT A GOOD LAYER, MAYBE BECAUSE SHE IS NEW AND HAS NOT SETTLED IN. BUT I HEARD THAT SEX LINKS WILL STOP LAYING SOONER THEN HERITAGE BREEDS, IS THIS CORRECT? SHE'S JUST A LITTLE OVER A YEAR OLD!

I LOVED MY DELAWARES. I NAMED ONE DAISY AND SHE WAS MY FAVORITE HEN, SHE WOULD SIT ON MY SHOULDER AS A CHICK. SHE WAS MORE INTERESTED IN ME THEN THE OTHER CHICKENS. I SAW A BAD REVIEW ON DELAWARES EATING EGGS, I NEVER HAD THAT PROBLEM. THEY ONLY EAT EGGS IF THEY ARE DEFICIENT IN THEIR NUTRITION. I THINK MOST CONS, WE ARE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS. I THINK CHICKENS WERE MEANT TO FREE RANGE, NOT SOMETHING I CAN DO ALL THE TIME, BUT HOPING TO. I LIKED MY DELAWARES SO MUCH, I ORDERED A DELAWARE ROOSTER, HOPE HE WORKS OUT, HOPING TO FREE RANGE NOW WITH A ROOSTER, FOR PROTECTING MY HENS.

I WAS SO EXCITED TO GET MY TRUE BLUE AMERAUCANAS. THEY SENT ME A GREY(blue) AND A BLACK SPOTTED ONE (black had iridescent colors in it).. MY ONLY REGRET IS NOT WAITING TO PUT THEM WITH MY OLDER HENS, WITH A BIGGER PEN. AND ONE AMERAUCANA WOULD STICK HER HEAD THROUGH FENCE SO THE OTHER HENS WOULD TAKE TURNS PECKING HER, VERY WEIRD. THEY WERE ON THE LOWEST END OF THE PECKING ORDER, I DID NOT REALIZE THEY WERE NOT EATING ENOUGH, SO THEY STARTED A BAD HABIT OF FEATHER PECKING FOR THEIR SOURCE OF FOOD, AND TAUGHT THE REST OF THE GROUP TO DO THE SAME. I REALIZED THEY WERE GETTING THIN, SO I PULLED THEM OUT OF THE GROUP, ONE CAME OUT OF IT, THE OTHER ONE DID NOT MAKE IT. I WAS DEVASTATED, THE POOR THING CONTINUED TO LAY EGGS NO MATTER HER CONDITION, LOYAL LAYER TIL THE END. I AM NEW TO CHICKENS, AND I MADE ALOT OF MISTAKES, THE CONS WERE CAUSED BY ME IM SURE. THEY WERE MY MOST EXPENSIVE HEN, BUT THEY WERE VERY BEAUTIFUL AND IM SURE THEY WOULD BE SHOW QUALITY FOR 4-H. WOULD RECOMMEND FOR THAT. I WILL GET MORE SOME DAY.
BOUGHT THEM THROUGH MY PET CHICKEN
