wow, I wish I had that many eggs. I only get about 10 eggs a day out of 17 and they are all a year old. That's not that good of a ratio. What breeds do you have?

I don't think 10 out of 17 is bad. yesterday was the first day I have got more then 7 out of 44 but all but 7 of mine are young.
I have BR's, JG's, Lt. Brahmas, Welsummers, EE's, red sex link, golden comets, ISA Browns, SLW's and some barn yard mixes. I think I got them all. those are my layers, I also have Silkies and Seabright's.

Are ISA Browns the same as red sex links just another name for them?

another name for them, although some claim they have minor differences. but its a hybrid so theres bound to be some differences

ISA Brown is a brand name for one particular Sex link chicken.
It has been said that the breeding formula is very closely guarded, but I heard that if you buy one and listen very carefully when they are sleeping, they talk in their sleep and will tell you the ancestry !!

They are known for prolific, although short lived laying ability.

that comb looks like a pullets but it's wings has reddish spots on them, and that usually means it's male. 5 or 6 weeks and we might be able to tell more
