Hi Fizzy- I got your message. Well, I currently have a young pair of millies
(popcorn and peanut) They are great. I love them. They were one of my 1st chickens. I got them when they were around 20 wks old. They were very friendly and cuddly. I got them from a lady on Catalina island. And she originally got them from someone on BYC. So, they have the puffy checks and the booted feet, AND FEATHERED LEGS. They are really good looking. In my opinion. Well since they are a small breed they mature faster and start laying sooner. Mine started laying the 1st week I had them, even dispite the fact that they were just relocated. So which also makes me think they adjust really fast too. A very hardy breed! My pullet is still real young, she has been producing an egg almost every other day. One day she gave me 3! I was so surprised. She is still tring to regulate her laying schedule. I have a friend here in CA. that has some that lay everyday. It really just depends on your chicken. The egg is precious. Small, cream colored and about the size of my index finger to my knuckle.
My pair is still nice, but since they have started mating, the roo had become more possesive about his little peanut. He will attack me, my leg. It doesn't hurt because he is so small. But he still does it. I did have him in with other chickens but he started to get a little protective and attack them. I wouldn't say he was mean, I can still hold him with no problem. He just would prefur me to stay away. ( Little man syndrome)
This sat is the chickenstock in Norco Ca. Where in Ca are you? I will have some hatching eggs to give away, if you can make it you can have them. Also, my friend Lynne, she live in Warner Springs. She has Millies and black Mottled D'Uccles. They are all really nice. She sells eggs if your interested. I can give you her info. I hope this helps~ Tacey
