Wait until they moult - oh my goodness sometimes the Isa nearly goes totally bald!

By the way Isas aren't a true breed, they are a hybrid, generally of RIR and...some big egg laying white hen. Leghorn? Look it up on Wikipedia. Isa stands for 'institute societe agriculturale' - so it's a breed that was cooked up (hahaha) for egg laying battery hens. The are SUPER efficient layers, so need heaps more protein than other hens. Get those mealworms ready!

They generally lay one a day. They don't have many days off - mine lay all through winter. Then they stop laying altogether at 2 and a half to 3 years. They are gorgeous birds, so much fun.
