they are not hatchery chickens. I got mine from my father in NJ, who got his from and old man in Martinsville NJ (Richard Morris), who had been raising BRs for years and years. I'm 64, and I remember his chickens from when I was young. They lay a huge light brown egg, and the roos weigh in at 9-12 pounds.These are not "Heritage" but hatchery quality from the photos. Do you have a better photo? Where did you get them, from?
As to a better photo, i don't take many pictures but I'll see what I can do.
