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.

flighty but beautiful with large white eggs!These are very shy and flighty birds but they are prolific layers! One of our newbies has begun to be broody and is sitting on the eggs that all the other girls seem to lay right under her! We remove the eggs each day and discourage her broodiness but she is relentless! Did not expect a Minorca to go broody; what a surprise that she wants to be a mother!
