Reviews by Shabby Chic-Hens

Barnyard mixes are one of my favorite breeds. They are like those wrapped presents that you used to get from "Santa Claus". You never know what you got until you opened it! These gifts unwrap themselves, but it is still very exciting.
Overall, a very good breed for beginners. Only problem is that sometimes you can get bad chickens. But doesn't that happen with every breed?

I bought some sapphire gem pullets at TSC's Hoover's Hatchery. All ten survived well. they are still living to this day (well, other than one bird brain who went into the dog kennel and was attacked while we were not at home ).My hens are laying eggs and only take a short break in winter, but are excelent layers. I have such good hens, I wrote a poem for their pros and cons!
