My all time favourite breed - Ellie, 21 April 2019

I had a beautiful girl called Margo who just simply LOVED to cuddle. She would often sit at the garden fence waiting for me to come to see her. I would recommend this breed if you have lots of time and cuddles to share with them.

LOVE THESE BIRDS! - Jessica, 21 April 2015

Out of all the chickens I have owned these are by far my favorites! They are super friendly ( even our rooster) and easy to handle. They are also very hardy birds and do well with pasture raising. We do not supplement our birds with feed but allow them to roam our property and all of the birds stay a healthy weight and lay well. I highly recommend them for the new and old chicken lovers!

Great Birds - Bob, 13 April 2014

big girl - Nigel, 26 October 2013

My rhodebar is a very laid back girl, very friendly and very quick.

Great but flighty - Jeremy, 24 June 2010

I have had some rosecombs for a few years now. Whenever anyone comes over they are amazed by them. They do not like attention much and are not to hardy but do find in our eglu. They go in the garden and only pick bugs and not lettuce or vegetables.
