Okay, I started my chicken expedition with 6 golden comets... at around 12 weeks, a weasel got into the pen, and POOF, dead chickens everywhere... our only survivor was SUPER CHICKEN, who has managed to survive the speedy (and depressing, and expensive) turnover in an area with foxes, weasels, and neighborhood dogs... Finally, we've got the coop secure, no losses for 4 months, but she outlasted an entire flock of delawares (12 of them!!!), though the roos went to the butcher.... anyway, she is the BEST hen ever, and at age 2, diligently lays 1 egg a day, when my other 2 mature birds haven't laid in months, my ducks are laying somewhere that I can't find, and my 15 26+week variety heritage/rare breeds are still holding out. So anyway, I just wanted to express my gratitude and appreciation for the Golden Comet, and I plan on getting 4 more G.C.s this spring, just to keep the eggs coming!
