I bought 2 NHR this Spring. I think they are outstanding ! I would highly recommend them. They are gentle friendly chickens. Rose follows me all over the yard. She will run to catch up when she gets sidetracked! I hope to get more next year. Maybe I have been very lucky but most of my chickens...
Austrolurps are every bit as great as Orps. I have both and would have a hard time picking one over the other! Austrolurps lay consistently even in cold of winter. They have great personalities and love attention!
