Pros: Friendly, Hardy, Great layers, Great foragers
Cons: None
These birds have been the foundation of our flock. They have stood up to the arid Colorado weather here which means cold winters, hot summers and not much rain so no many plants or bugs. Very friendly, anyone can pick them up. Still some of our best layers going into their 3rd laying season. Our only broody hen is a Barred Rock and she is happy to sit a large clutch of eggs every year. Would definitely get this breed again.

Pros: Get along well with other chickens, good foragers
Cons: Good ability to fly
Acquired these two girls from someone who wasn't supposed to have them in the city. They were still pullets. They lay one egg every other day between the two of them. Have not noted them to be particularly flighty, however, when they do decide to take wing, they have more height and distance than any other breed in our flock. Was surprised by the height of comb and the spurs on the hens, we actually thought they were roosters at first! Overall, energetic, lively birds that allow us to handle them.
