Awesome birdI ordered two as part of a mixed flock order with 25 chicks. One was DOA. The survivor had a big personality from Day 1. She is my favorite bird and wonderfully friendly liking to fly to my shoulder; she loves to be pet and will often take a few-minute nap whilst being pet. She did decide early on after at least one bopping by the single rooster that she wanted none of it. This lead to a one-month standoff in which she rarely left a nesting box (though managed never to poop in it). Then the last three weeks seems to have iterated to a state of mutual ignorance with the single roo and is her usual wonderful self. She has not yet started to lay again after her rooster-stress, but before was laying wonderfully cute-sized eggs and very pleased with herself. Her personality is extraordinary, she stands up for herself (being small) but is always nice to the other hens (whilst making sure she is not taken advantage of due to her size).

Type and ConformationI have ordered from all hatcheries to get birds to the standards. McMurray has by far had the best of best birds. They are to the standard. Of course not all will show, but I can actually put these with my breeders as good specimens. Thank you very much.
