I had two from MPC hatched april 2010. One was the typical ee color/partridge and layed a medium green egg. She was the only chicken I have that was a bit wild and did not tolerate any handling. Unfortunately, I lost her to a hawk over thanksgiving.
the second one I still have and she lays 4-5 medium green eggs a week, including now, in the middle of a new england winter. She is a beautiful buff color and a little bit laced. This is a very tame hen and loves to sit on laps.
Here is a pic of a typical egg ( this was the first one...). Both started laying at about 20 weeks and both typically lay(ed) 4-5 per week once they started
here is what they looked like as chicks
and these pics are in the growing up dinosaur stage. The colors didn't change much, just became more vibrant.
I hope you get what you want ! I love mine so much that I ordered 2 more for spring (anticipation of new babies helps with the sting of the three hawk losses I had this fall!). I'm hoping for really fun colors and green eggs too!
