California Gray???

[nanawendy]

I can't find any info on this birdie. Could there be a ANA for them. Our Co-op is getting them in and the fam. is curious about stats.

I heard someone else mention these before but I am sorry to say I dunno nothing about them - It peaked my curiousity because I am fromj california and was hoping to see a picture. I would suggest you used the search box on your upper right hand corner about the post a reply blue line and see if that brings you any info.

If I am remembering right, they are pretty much like a barred leghorn and lay big white eggs.

I got a cockerel a few years back just to see what they looked like. He basically looked like a leghorn in type but the barring was more of a slate colored cuckoo, he got killed by a critter so I couldnt breed to see if it was blue or what.

Here's some info on them: http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGA/CalGray/BRKCalGray.html

I believe Welp, Privett, and several other hatcheries have them.

Supposed to lay nearly as well as White Leghorns, but in a larger, calmer bird.

I was just at the Rural King this morning and they have a bin full of day old pullet chicks. They are all yellow with black spots. I can't seem to find a picture of an adult hen--anyone have one??
