Thank you so much for this info. I was not familiar with Bomgaars nor with the genetic issues of Easter Eggers. I appreciate you sharing this with me.I also vote for making the drive to feeders supply. I have purchased several birds from them and they have done very well.
Personal choices from me for friendly, hearty, good layers....
Black Australorp
Buff orpingtons
Speckled sussex
Delaware
Welsummer or California Whites both very different but both worth having.
Yeah most lay brown eggs. The California Whites lay white eggs and have not been as skittish as Leghorns.
If you want green or blue eggs I highly recommend stopping at Bomgaars on your trip to get Starlight green layers or Prairie Bluebells. I have 2 of each and they are all great!
They are said not to suffer the genetic issues the Easter Eggers do. I have tried repeatedly over the years to get good laying Easter eggers and always ended up with the genetic garbage pit in them.
