My RIR is 3 years, 3 months. She lays 2 days, takes a day off. Consistently, like clockwork. Her first 1 year she was 6 on, 1 off; her second year she was 4-5 on 1 off. Large brown eggs. My Barred Rock is 1 year, 2 months. She lays 10-12 days in a row and then takes a day off. Large, almost...

I bought some RIRs from Poultry Hollow in spring 2014. Wonderful birds and wonderful people there. Have referred others, and they were happy, too. I'm going back in a few weeks to get some more pullets from her. It truly is back in the hills and hollers, and it's not a fancy place (it's a...
