The original Rex sure was a looker, wasn't he? I can't think of any better eye candy than a well bred BR male. THIS is the epitome of heritage! Some folks who saw Rex #1 in person would say his barring made their eyes hurt.

Hey! Don't knock mixed breeds. My very best layers are my mixes and Easter Eggers. Next spring I will hatch eggs from my best laying hens and I will have more mixes and Easter Eggers. My pure breeds, not so much.
Sure was. Sigh.No one here's knocking mixed breeds, just trying to play along with the OP's title. My hand's down best layers were my EE/Leghorn mixes, and have made great layers when put under my homemade black sexlink rooster. For a few years the back bone of my layer flock were at least 4 way mixes!
but Rex's barring is hypnotic......
