Hi Yamika hid,
The breeder I got my Barreds from has a large emphasis on production, also. To be honest, I don't know why so many people think that Standard bred birds don't produce. I've found that mine do (not saying that some don't, though).

Hi Silkielover5,
I fully understand what Chickendales' post meant, but he did say "white birds always have the best type." If this was true then you'd only see White birds winning, but you don't.
