Buff Minorcas

Interesting....Last year I ordered a variety to get an idea of what I liked best. I ordered one buff minorca because there were no orpington available. We call her Crazy Alice. She is the noisiest bird in a coop of 34 hens and two roosters. She won't let you near her and squawks nearly all day. Fortunately, I don't really mind. I find all chicken noises soothing. although I would not recommend if your neighbors are close by or internet of noise. That said, she lays a huge white egg every day! I gave 5 stars because she keeps my yard interesting.

Poor layers, Very FlightyI ordered both buff and black minorcas and they are all wild, nervous birds. They do not lay very often; when they did start laying i had trouble training them to lay in the nesting boxes. they would often go and lay eggs under bushes, or in flowerbeds. Very frustrating! Also, every single Minorca rooster i got was mean and would attack when we approached the coop to collect eggs.
