I had 5 chicks last year.
The 3 roosters were all very human aggressive and went into the freezer.
The two hens have been laying well, nice extra large purplish-brown eggs.
Their legs were more yellow, but a year of laying seems to have beached them out.
One is going to our small county fair next week. I will let you know what the judge says, as his opinion will be more relevant than mine.
Whitmore Farms is a pleasure to work with.
They have not been as friendly as others have described in this thread, but we raise birds a little more like livestock than pets.
I have 5 chicks from Sand Hill this year, which are still too young to evaluate.
