Not happy with these girls at all. Yes there beautiful, but they are also 6 months old and out of the 26 we purchased 11 are laying. We have raised chickens for many years and have never had a chicken take so long to lay. Will make sure to never purchase these again.

Very pleased with my one Pearl Star Leghorn hen I got mid-April. Nice personality– not too passive, but not aggressive either. She lays probably 6 days out of 7 at 8 mos. old. Lately, they have been enormous, hovering around 100 g!
