[can you hear me now?]

silkies may not be the best for egg laying but that was my choice for broody chickens. That is what is going to replace my incubator this year is the silkies I am gonna get. I will still have my egg layers though.

As MxPres says, the Gold Comets are the best brown layers. I also have nineteen and they are a mix of three ages from six to ten months. For the past two weeks we've been getting 17 to 19 big brown ones each day. Today we got 19. And they are very people and pet friendly. They pretty much ignore our three year old boxer except when they're trying to steal his milkbone.

Where did you get your gold comets?

I have sexlinks, they each lay one per day. Also my production reds.. they also lay one a day. Then again. I have silver laced Wyandottes that also lay one a day! I am lucky like that, all my girls lay one egg per day!!!
