[Rosecomb-Ryan]

Are they good layers? What do they look like anyone have any pictures? Are they flighty? Anyone? Can they fly? Im looking into a trio trying to learn about them before jumping into it. Please somone help me!

There's some info at this site. It looks like they're good layers of large white eggs.

They look really cool. Unusual large earlobes.

We have 5 of them. Nice layers of white eggs. Only one problem, one of our hens lays blood spot eggs but we don't know if it is a Black Minorca or a Brown Leghorn. Same chicken becaue the egg is shaped the same way. I just have to figure out which breed lays which shape.

They escape all the time. So you'll have to keep their wings clipped. Also if you live in a cold climate, they have large comb and waddles. BUT we live in "Little Siberia" and they have been very hardy so far. Our winters get down below -20 F.
