I've had these birds for a while, and I'm not very satisfied with them, but they'll still be staying on the farm all the same.

Even as chicks they were skittish, and I can't even go near them now. Which is kind of a bummer, because they greatly resembled barred rocks and I've had the best experience with barred rocks, so I just expected more from them.

But all in all, they're okay for egg laying, and their eggs are gorgeous. Too bad they don't lay in the coop, because they won't go in it.

These are decent birds, though not my favorite. They tend to fight a lot, they're pretty bad mothers, and some of the roosters seem to like to breed a little too often. One has been destroying my hens (butchering him soon).

Very beautiful, and extremely hardy. So, that's a plus! Not my favorite.

I have one black Wyandotte named Lucy. She's very big and heavy, so thankfully she's the sweetest thing and doesn't attack anyone. Though she doesn't like being held, I can pet her and she'll perch on my arm or my head, and likes to "ride" on my back . She lays everyday (except for this time of year, considering it's Fall and she's in molt) and they're VERY large eggs. She gets along with the others and never fights, and she doesn't eat too much. She's the biggest hen in my flock, and she's beautiful. Her feathers are very shiny and in the sun they look a little green, which is beautiful to see. She doesn't need a lot of space either, and won't pick on new hens (even though all of my new hens are smaller than her).

Also, beautiful eye color, I think.

My pilgrim geese were really sweet and adorable at first, but once breeding season came along I had to get rid of them. Nearly killed some of my chickens.

Now that they have been sold to a place with no chickens and lots of space, I've heard they're really sweet and get along with everyone perfectly. So, if you don't have lots of space, don't get these birds! Probably won't try them out again, I prefer smaller poultry.

My chickens adore these mealworms! I love getting them, even though they're expensive. Chickens are worth the money! I would just raise my own, but I would NEVER be able to allow mealworms, live mealworms, into my home! Ew, just the thought makes me gag.
The chickens get addicted, they need those worms! I don't mind buying them, but it's really getting ME addicted! Now I just have the need to buy them!
I love how when I shake the bag they come running as fast as possible and try to get some before I even open the bag!
Overall, it's perfect!

It's a great book! I picked one up from the library and I adored it! Though it was short, it was still interesting and worth getting!

I did not have a pleasant experience with my Brahmas. They were pretty mean, and had injured me on multiple occasions. Maybe it was just bad genetics, but I had to get rid of them.

I may try them out again, but they were never a favorite of mine.

My Cochin was pretty darn cute, and very pleasant to have. But she gets picked on a lot and unlike some of my other, larger hens, she wont' defend herself if another chicken is messing with them.

She's pretty panicky, but once I got rid of my more abusive roosters she calmed down a bit. She'll occasionally let me hold her.

My silkie is really cute and adorably tiny, but she's also easily panicked. I'd recommend getting multiple silkies, and not just one, so they can fit in with birds their size.
I don't really want any more birds like her, she is usually freaking out about some random thing, but she's a cutie.

My sultans were very fun to have!
The roosters were aggressive (could just be bad genetics) and got butchered in the end, but my hen is the sweetest chicken I have ever had, and she's pretty smart, too!

Very different from most chickens I've had, and can really start a conversation. I'm picky about what breeds of birds I want, but sultans are definitely a breed that will be staying in my flock.

Also, my hen lays nearly everyday, which is really surprising and impressive even if her eggs are small.
