overall I like them, my second batch was mixed sex so when the poults started to lay at around 18 weeks, we kept the nicest rooster and the rest were for the freezer - butchered and deboned each one gave 2.5 lbs of meat, which was a pretty fair return. The hens have all died at 2-3 years, but Roo is going strong!
2019 update: I still have one hen from my very first batch, she’s 6 now and my best layer, the prettiest, fluffiest hen but mean as can be! I named her Bitch (can I say that here?) which she responds to, (after giving you the evil eye and then attacking another chicken on the way to see what you have for treats).
