These are honestly the best chickens! When they were younger two of the 4 were a little tough to handle, but now those two are the sweetest, most out-going chickens I have!! They are very dependable layers! I think all of them lay every day, or just miss one day per week. Not to mention the beautiful blue eggs I get!
This is just a story that I think sums up my girl, Stir Fry
I was sitting on a chair outside, and she was looking up at me like she wanted to jump up(like the looks dogs give). I told her to come on up, and she literally jumped up on the chair and sat on my lap for like 10 minutes while I just pet her. She is the sweetest little thing and loves to help me, especially when I'm cleaning out the coop or getting them food. She is a very curious girl and is not afraid to go out and adventure while free-ranging. Stir fry is definitely the leader of the group, not to mention she layed the first egg!
All of my EE's are absolutely gorgeous, on the inside and out!
Now to the not so happy aspect of the breed: the fact that cross beak runs in their breed specifically.... Long story short I had a very sweet chick, Scarlette, who developed a very bad case of cross beak when she was about two weeks. She would hang out with me inside while I made her special food She ended up not making it.
Even knowing that I could get another cross beak chick I would still go with the breed because they are that amazing, and frankly Scarlette taught me a lot so it was worth it
Hope this helps!!
