Got for a good price at Walmart, worked very well, but got somewhat dirty easily. Right now the parts are stuck together, so I'm not using it, but is a good quality item overall.

We have had a silkie hen for about a month and half now, and I have loved having her. She is pretty easy to catch and hold, and is at the top of the pecking order in her mini flock of three standard size pullets of various breeds. Not laying yet, but hasn't gone broody either.

We have had an Australorp hen for a few years and she has been one of our sweetest, most docile hens. She in particular is not a great layer, but has gone broody every June so far. I know that this breed in general are good layers and docile. I would recommend this breed as a great beginner breed to start with!

We have at least three if not four of these beautiful birds! One of them, Nellie, recently got attacked by a hawk. All we found was feathers. A little bit later she walked right up the barn! She is now perfectly fine and no one would guess that she had been attacked. Her and another pullet like to jump up on my head and arms for treats. They lay almost every day!!! Great birds for a beginner, advanced or expert chicken keeper!! Highly recommended!!

Great breed. All the ones that we have had are/were sweet and friendly. The two we had died, one pretty recently, but with about a month, we got another as a pullet. She is is very curious and is the most calm out of the three that we recently bought. Already the leader out of their little flock. one, the one that died most recently was almost three years old and still laying huge brown eggs well. A way to keep them laying longer is to not put lights in their coops in the winter, which have done and a week ago, we got 5 eggs for a couple days from a flock of random breed hens ranging in age from 10 mo-nearly three years old
