    Reliable brown egg layer?

    I'll look into Marans and see what I can find, from what I've heard they are really good. I've had Rhode Island Reds before, they are awesome! I think I'll get some of them! We have a leghorn rooster, and poor fella did get frostbite. It wasn't very bad but still . Thank you all!

Does anyone have any suggestions for cold hardy, brown egg laying, reliable chickens? We may just end up getting leghorns, but I would prefer brown eggs. Should we just...

    What kind of comb is this?

    Wow, cool! We bought him online from a private seller, and he said they were easter eggers. But he also said they were hens and "laying every day" (it took months for the ones that were hens to start laying ). Thanks!

    What kind of comb is this?

    He is an easter-egger rooster, and I think he probably has a pea comb, but I've never seen one like this. Just curious. Thanks!
