I have a question, I have one remaining Barred Rock Hen that lays the godzilla eggs, she is in with the BCM rooster as she is "Pepper" the last of the friendly kids chickens. If I hatch chicks they will be black sex links? meaning the boys will have the head spots? I totally forgot about that option when I got rid of the rest of the flock! They would be awesome layers and meat birds as both birds are huge as well as the hens eggs! also will that make the eggs darker? or spotted? I need to read I guess... dang headache!! I am thrilled this hen is still producing these huge eggs, or any eggs at all she is six years old. I almost cry when I crack those big eggs open and should this big egg laying ability carry through to some of the hens?

I have no clue as to the answer but those are some huge eggs. She lays daily?
