Pros: dependable layers, good to excellent egg quality

Cons: Little peckish towards docile members of flock

Good birds that I have found to be a solid foundation or core for the flock. Dependability of egg production is a huge perk.

 

Helps that one of the hens, Rocky, has attached herself to me as well and follows me around the yard.

I have two gorgeous New Hampshire hens I bought from a feed store as chicks. I'm debating whether or not to keep them - I see Cackle Hatchery says they only lay approx. 120 eggs per year, which is only 2/week. Is that your experience with them? I really like how rapidly they've grown, their personalities, their body type and color, but don't want a poor layer. Thanks
