Has anybody bought this landrace from FLF? How have they done for you?

** I live Kauai in the land of ferals

I have adopted feral chicks and raised, also have had a slew of them visit me through the decades and then years of me keeping domestic chooks. My good pal is currently raising 3 as domestic.

They are cute, loyal and wild at heart- to the core. Resourceful. Crafty. Rather sleep in your trees and prefer warm to cold.
Be prepared for crazy in the head broody broody broody. And once gone broody... will want to go broody 3-4 times a year. And flighty. Your gunna have to lock them in or just except their hopping fences and making nests... and coming home with babies if fertile. You will get 30-50 very light beige eggs per year on the smaller side of medium.
If you are looking for a novel chicken you will get a kick out of them.

Boys have beautiful color and are fierce. Part gamefowl mixed in there. I've had to shoot more than my fair share of those bad boys as they can be relentless once honed in on a challenge. To the death more so than our domestics. Last week I picked a young feral cockerel up off my pasture from a fight he lost. He was bludgeoned and did not survive. Roosters are relentless.
High pitched crow, thin, NICE colors.
Hand raised all will be friendly at first but more skittish. Resourceful and wild will show as they age. Very hardy.

That is a kind offer!


It's illegal to ship eggs or live poultry across state lines without proper permits.. just so as you know. Post office doesn't enforce laws (or check permits) per say and some folks still do it on the down low.

Good tip. Was not sure but makes sense.

They scammed me. Stay away

How did they scam you?

I got my chicks from them last year. Not only are they overpriced but I’ve had a hell of a year with health issues from my FLF chickens. Buy elsewhere.

What health issues do your chicks have?
