My Campbell hen has this perfect nest she built to lay her eggs in, She has been giving me an egg a day so far... I have rouen, cayuga, blue swidish, campbell and a mixed breed of rouen and cayuga cross hens but I have to say my campbell is the only hen out of the 18 who lays an egg a day all year long. She is just a little cuddle bug too!

How well does your Swedish lay?

Not as well, They lay about 1/2 of what my campbells lay

Hello!

I am considering getting a KC, and would like some reviews one them!

Do they lay as good as everyone says?

Metzer lists them as "Nervous". Are they?

Do they do well in a mixed flock?

Please post pictures!

Any other information is appreciated!

Just one?

They lay hecka good Ive got two or maybe three still laying from last June, one went into a molt just last week

Nervous.....well, yeah. They arent wonderful PET ducks. They WILL know their keeper, and trust him to an extent (as always, the feed factor ) and I do have one hen that allows me to pick her up without chasing. That said, the other dont really like me touching them.

They do well in my mixed flock.....just a little snag with my big saxony drakes, who tried to mate them....being more than twice as heavy, that didnt go so well. But with my other hens, theyre just fine.

So, Id totally recommend them if you want eggs
Hope it helps!

I have one KC. She is delightful, friendly, anything but nervous. I suspect one of her grandparents was a Rouen, though, due to her shape - a bit chunky for a KC. Great layer.

I love my KC. She is a great layer. I'm not sure who lays more her or my crested peking. She was the 1st to try to sit on a nest but I think it was just too hot. She lays every day since she started. I should have some eggs hatching next week bit for size of egg and flavor... A++++

Heres another useful tidbit I got an 85 gram egg this morning from a khaki
