Thank you!Hi and welcome! It’s so nice to have you here! A friend of mine has golden comets. This bunch is extremely friendly and very productive. They are brown with white tail feathers and some flecks of white throughout. Darling as chicks but as adults meh...
Any of the sex linked breeds designed for high production would probably suit your needs if you want tons of eggs. Read up on the characteristics that are important to you. I’ve heard they burn out after the second season but my friend’s flock is still doing well and they are 3 years old now. Out of the eight chicks she still has 6. One of those had a reproductive problem and the other was taken by a predator after being accidentally left out of the coop (she thinks) at lockup.
Whatever you choose, build them a secure coop and the biggest secure run you can possibly build and you and your chickens will enjoy life!
Do you know where your friend got her Golden Comets?Great information, thanks!
Here are a couple of articles in the Learning Center about red sex links (and their various names) that might interest you:

Whatever you end up getting, I hope you'll enjoy them!
Yes, that's why I'm confused. Everything I've read about Golden Comets says that they are a mix of New Hampshire Roos with White Rock hens. So my question would be, how could they call it a Golden Comet? Wouldn't they call it something else?
Yes she got them from the local feed store. I don’t know which hatchery though. You could check the hatcheries online, they usually have pics of the breeds they sell.Thank you!
