I know they're a BYC sponsor & all, but doesn't it seem a bit of an over-promise to say that the sex-links will lay 8 eggs/hen/week? Mine lays consistently (6-7/week) but never 8/week. http://natureshatchery.com/Commercial.html
i think that the bird will be over working its self if it did. i do like this hatchery but i think the priceing is a bit steep for a peep. lol
Quote:That's kind of my point. I know that these birds won't lay 8 egg/s week but many of the people who are new to chicken ownership won't know. They'll get these birds, raise them for 5 months, and then be disappointed that they're "defective" when, in reality it was inaccurate marketing of the breed.
