And the most...ATM, the critters are hens or feline. And the most productive are the Cuckoo Marans. They consistently lay eggs that bottom out the egg scale, far heavier than x-lg. I get 3 - 4 of this size a day, but there's also Austrolorps laying one or 2 of them, but they are tan, not chocolate colored.<br /><br />In February I got 60 of these super large eggs, in addition to the regular x-lg. I got 31 from the Cuckoo Marans and 29 from Austrolorps. But there are only 4 Cuckoo Marans in the flock and 6 Austrolorps.<br /><br />Having said that, we did not order any Cuckoo Marans this year. We must order breeds that are dual purpose (meat/eggs) because the leftovers after culling for the new layer flock are the "broilers" for the next year.<br /><br />So next year's flock will be Austrolorps, Barred Rocks, and Delawares. And we've increased the number to 75, from 50 birds of past years.Pam R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10198244361708075844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588065594023489285.post-82836934471121556632013-03-04T05:16:16.215-05:002013-03-04T05:16:16.215-05:00Would love some Speckled Sussex, and some Buff Sus...Would love some Speckled Sussex, and some Buff Sussex, too .. but I think we'll have to wait a while!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588065594023489285.post-59190518076623744502013-03-03T18:42:39.276-05:002013-03-03T18:42:39.276-05:00I have three black chickens that stay together all...I have three black chickens that stay together all the time also.
