Why barred Holland’s? The white eggs? I’ve never had these, but After 55 years of chickens and as many breeds, variety, and mixed up chickens, my thoughts always go back to the dual purpose breeds.
Our current harem are ISA browns but the eggs tend to be “thin”. I assume this is because they lay an egg every day. We prefer those orange golf ball yolks over the yellow flat yolks as they tend to burst with flavor.
We are also tired of that bland “chicken flavored meat” they sell in the store. Chickens that are free ranged and eat bugs, grass, and everything else besides grower mash just taste better.
By going with a dual purpose bird, we could resolve that issue.
