Got 2 in 2011. Still have 1 that turned 3 recently. The other on started loosing feathers under her neck and under her belly, then died. The other on I still have won me the best standard hen at the Middlesex county 4-H fair. She lays pretty well for a 3 year old. They were both always skittish and never could really handle them. I started with a flock of 4, 2 buff Minorcas and the 2 partridge Plymouth rocks which worked out great. They pretty much took care of themselves as I learned how to take care of them. I love their feathers!
