I had originally bought these birds as fence testers (a necessity of life on the open range) from a backyard seller I'll never be able to locate again. A shame really, because these birds were not only surprisingly sweet for started pullets but were egging at 6/week. At the time, we were not set up to handle that level of production and it got to the point that friends and family would hide when they saw you coming with an egg carton in your hands.
