I don't know if he really counts, but I've got Turken. I used to have Australorps and Orpingtons, but something killed most of my (20 chickens large) flock turken hung around though, along with two of his ladies. I have some pullets now, they are growing nicely. All are in chicken jail now... Sorry for the long response and cruddy photo, I've been off of BYC for a year or two and I'm excited to be back. This photo is from 2 years ago, hopefully I can get some better new photos while I'm off work tomorrow.

Hild the Barnevelder and Olive the Olive Egger. Olive lets Hild collect all the eggs for the day into one nest box to sit on, then chases her out and sits on them herself.

I also had 3 black Minorca's that were great layers of white eggs.
