Ours are doing great upstate in the bitter cold. They are not breeding and laying yet though. Still playing the waiting game for eggs which is really not such a bad thing considering the weather.
I really love their personalities. Mellow and super sweet. The blacks are gorgeous with that incredible sheen.. I thought I'd prefer the blue but it's a real toss up now that they've matured. The splash are beautiful but don't have as much sheen which I think is just gorgeous. The cockerels look pretty fierce but so far they're mostly couch potatoes. I can't wait to set some of their eggs!
