These girls are so stinking friendly that I have finally decided to keep them for eggs! I called the Hatchery this morning and the gal said they lay over 250 eggs a year and lay very large brown eggs. With as friendly as these girls are, I have gotten rather attached and really was not liking the idea of processing them... Instead, I am going to order 100 of the meat chick mix (all boys) and grow them out instead! They are much cheaper anyway! LOL
