I ordered some on several occasions during 2010 & 2011. The chicks were very small & fragile with a loss on every order even though they arrived in less than 48 hours. Hatchery policy is that they add extras,which never were Pynch. ,so unless you order only Pynch,you can't account for lost chicks.Pet quality-white legs-,lopped combs,mostly crested,quite colorful at maturity but hens faded becoming mostly white w/speckles after first molt.And seemed to have losses for no reasons. I only have a handful of survivors left which are very nice pets kept in confinement as not sure they could survive otherwise. So far they lay very few eggs & haven't become broody. I lost some chicks very early as never realized young chicks could fly at a couple weeks of age ! My quad is very nasty to "new additions" to their pen.But overall the hens are very quiet & friendly & only experienced one roo being nasty to me. Others were very nice dispositioned.So if you are looking for a neat breed of ornamental bantams for pets-these are great little bantams.
