This is my very first experience with chickens. I bought 10 standard cochin chicks in March of this year, and the lady threw in 2 free "just in case."
Well, as of writing this review they are 28 days old and so far so good!
They are all healthy, active, friendly chickens. Since I don't have anything to compare them to, I'll just say that my chickens are very friendly and docile.
As chicks they are currently easy to handle. 2 of the 12 are a bit flighty and nervous, but when I have treats they come to me and allow me to touch them but they object to being handled.
One of my little boys already loves having his wattles stroked. He just falls asleep with his head in my hand!
I have a runt that I just knew was going to die, but s/he pulled through. It is the smallest and is half the size of the rest, despite having the same parents. It only has a few feathers so far so I take extra care to make sure it stays warm.
