Thats the only breed my farm store had and allowed me to just buy a couple. I managed to raise one up to an adult. A fox got one of them and a snake the other when they were smaller. The remaining one IS A HEN!!!!!! I have a black spanish Tom. Are the bronzes able to lay and hatch her own, or are they only good for meat like the cornish X rocks in chickens??? I would much much rather keep her as a breeder.
