    Last summer I ordered a couple of Lavender Orpingtons, a Delaware, and a Silver Laced Orpington. What a fantastic purchase. These girls are lovely. They were shipped carefully and arrived quickly, each in perfect health. Since then they have become a part of our family. They all have their own personalities and are so fun to be around in addition to being excellent layers. What a great company. In the future when we need more chickens, we will certainly be back. Thanks!

    This was my first time ordering from Chickens For Back Yards. I will order again from them. All my chicks arrived healthy and alive. I ordered the Buff Orpington chickens. They are now 6 months old and just started laying eggs. I am happy with my girls. Thank you Chickens For Backyards.
