Good laying breeds that are too fat or lazy to fly over electric netting?

[ValerieJ]

50-65F is the ideal storage temperature but as long as the egg stays between 35F and 80F, not stored for too long (under a week), and not jostled too much in transit, they should be viable. Well packaged eggs are usually fine in transit. All those I've sent eggs to had good success.

Thanks for the info. Now I can't wait for my chicken to get broody again. It's the best way to raise chicks!

@enthmpsn My birds don't try to fly over the fence but I do have heavy duty netting covering all of my pens. Maybe you can make a playground like in their run. I built a chicken ladder and the birds loved to get on it.

Oh my gosh! I just showed that to my husband. My chickens would love that.

My Bielefelders are great layers , not broody and aren’t inclined to fly. They have great temperaments as well. I also have Orps , Brahmas , SLW, Partridge Rock and OE (EE/Maran) of which the Biels, Brahmas and Orps are my non-flyers.

Have you found those Sagittas to be good layers as Dunlop reports they are?

Lol, this is why I'm developing a silkie feathered laying breed. Cant fly by default. But a frizzled chicken could work as well. Anyone want to make a frizzled leghorn?
