Okay I'm early but thinking about new breeds for spring. Does anyone have Jaerhons? I know they are Norwegian, supposedly very hardy and known for laying large eggs through the winter (I'm in Connecticut, winter hardiness and laying are good things). Feathersite has no background info, neither do any of the SEVEN new chicken books I own. I searched the topic here on BYC but no real breed info. I do not want any bird that is "flighty". Like 'em fluffy, slow and calm (cochins, silkies, orpingtons, easter eggers, D'uccles, etc). I am getting some bantam dorking eggs over the next couple days, my first experience with incubator - Yea! I'll be posting ... can't wait, setting everything up today.
Anyone?
