It came from MPC in a brown egg layer assortment. So it lays brown eggs.

You could look for a local chicken swap on facebook. There are people in my area that provide homes for wayward roosters.

I'm getting a replacement batch of chicks soon. I'm new to this all too! Our first chicks had death by predator, so we are hoping that our new run design will work better than the old. We have a dog crate - a large one, with a rabbit waterer in the door and a bowl zip tied to the door under it...
