My first to start up again was my Minorca from you and my OE. I also have a bantam Cochin that has been doing well, course they are all frozen when I get them. Dogs are happy with all of the eggs!
I 'bought' Super Blue Egg Layers (they seemed all correct) 3 Orpingtons (Blue)- one was the others were 2 BR's and one I have no idea-it was barred.
