Have you read through my thread about these? Freedom Ranger Hatchery is still breeding/selling Henry Knoll's line of New Hampshires as dual purpose birds. I've been raising mine for some time, and have noted my observations.

Now that you've brought my attention to it, I have a few more observations I can record today.

They lay nice medium to large size eggs. Was going to raise some from the egg last summer, but didn't get a broody hen. So I'm going to try for some second generation this year if I have a broody or time to incubate.
