That's the post I was talking about! I was too short of time to search for it then, thanks for linking to it!
I was just wondering after typing that what I would cross a Buff Orp to if I had the time. I got fantastic fertility from my ISA browns when I bred them for fun a few times, and they are faster maturing, so I have to wonder on that. Better layers for sure, so if I put a dozen of them in with a buff Orp roo for a bit then collected eggs for 10 days I could easy have a Sportsman full..... Things that make me think!
I have a hundred ISA chicks showing up in December to winter raise so I have ready to lays to sell about the may long weekend when everyone is thinking spring. I'm going to keep about 40 so Maybe I need to track down a Buff Orp roo or 2.
