Help with Pure Breeds

[mooSa]

What are the best pure breeds that have high egg laying productivity?

Rhode Island Reds, Barred Rocks, White Leghorns.

Our best pure breed layers are our White Leghorns at 5 each a week. Our best layer is our Leghorn X Black Sex-Link cross that come out looking like a White Rock and they are on day 45 of laying every day. We have 4 of them laying now and 2 more just starting and growing 6 more.

Wow,... Leghorn X black sex link... maybe I got rid of my roo to quickly.

isnt the barred rock a mix breed? and what would i mix with the RiR to keep the eggs brown and large?

The BR is a purebred. You don't have to mix anything with a RIR to keep the eggs large and brown.....that's the type of egg they lay.

Put a RIR Roo over your BR hens and you'll get Black sex link laying machines.

If I put a leghorn roo over the RiR hen, will new Mix provide eggs that are large and brown?

and

If I put a RiR Roo with a BR Hen will the black sex link prove large brown eggs?

Our Black Sex-Links are as good of layers as our leghorns. They also have a very good temperament. They are great to have if you have kids. And the eggs will be large and brown.

I see, and your saying the sex link is pretty much one of the best layers?
