The biggest surprise is that white and barred rocks have such a few votes, I gave my vote to whites, I had them, they have such a strong immune system and they lay jumbo eggs. It is said that a smaller version of them resembling the size of the RIW is the mother of the 90% od the commercial RSL...

Australorp are an excellent choice too, they are not competitive like the RIR. But, they lay light brown eggs, while NH lay commercial brown eggs and RIR rich and deep brown eggs.

Hahaha. And bear in mind that I don't press anyone to vote if they don't want too.

I THINK YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR VOTE. DON'T TRY TO COMPARE LEGHORNS AND SEX LINKS TO NEW HAMSHIRES. THEY ARE NOT BREEDS ANYMORE. THEIR PARENT STOCK HAS NUMBERS!!!!! THE TERMINAL CROSSES ARE MONEY MAKERS, NOT BREEDS.

They do have aggressive behavior. This is the main drawback of the breed.

Many people in Greece claim that NEW HAM lay better than RIR.......

Sex links can be compared only with white leghorns. I made a poll only for the three commercial ladies. A different poll.

Do you understand that this poll is about breeds and not hybrids?

Don't forget to vote, we all want to know which girl is the queen. The terminal crosses are considered to be hybrids. They are not coming from crossbreeding but from outbreeding. Four + lines of white leghorns are used to create the terminal crosses sold to farms. The picture in the following...

AGREE, AGREE, AGREE, YOU JUST MADE THE MOST IMPORTANT COMMENT.

I have discussed it many times with many people. In some countries, chicken feed contains GMO products. So farmers grow their own chicken scratch and try to raise their chickens with scratch. A red sex link lays nothing with scratch, because every rsl is designed to need high-density feed. A...

A puggle dog is not a breed. A red sex link is not a breed. A production red is not a breed. They do not breed true.

RIR are very aggressive to each other. But, they do have a good camouflage and they are much better than dominiques, because they are chosen to be improved by geneticists. And hatcheries usually cross the "layer strains" to "dual strains" to improve RIR and make them overlay the dominique breed...

By far... They are chosen by the 90% of the geneticists of the big companies to be the paternal stock of the red sex links and the black sex links. Together with improved white rocks.

They are by far better than many choices I provided, but not even close to RIR.

I don't believe that dominiques can come close to RIR. But, they are better than many options I put. I will try to add them as an option.

A) They are not a breed. B) They are usually sold debeaked. C) They are designed to need high-density feed. D) Their tendency to lay huge eggs makes their small bodies burn out fast. I adore RSL from hy-line and from dominant CZ, but they are hybrids, not breeds, they can't be compared to a...

Please, vote for the most balanced, profitable and sustainable layer of brown eggs for a homestead.
