I bought "Pioneers" from Murray. Some refer to this breed as Rainbows or Dixie Rainbows. I was planning to butcher these birds at 12 weeks, but had second thoughts as they are quite unique and attractive. I allowed them to grow to maturity and they lay big brown eggs, which I have hatched under a broody hen. The 2 year old rooster from Murray is probably 15-20#'s, a big bird. Lot's of double yolks.

I had some extremely large eggs from one of my slow broilers that I was positive were double yolks. Turns out its a 50/50 shot. She just lays BIG eggs

I can't wait until my new eggs hatch.
I wasn't home for the last hatch,as a result I don't have a clue what's what. This batch should be a different story
