Hmm, I had black sex links and they had been the best layers I ever purchased by far. I try to offset the cost of feed by selling some eggs but I raise meat birds also. Not as productive egg layers but they taste good! Most never lay an egg before we cull them. I'm about 2 years away from a reasonable utility breed. I get more for myself and family this way. I couldnt possibly eat that many eggs anyway! :/
