I would like to get some pullets or even adult birds RIR,doms,Sussex,and red sex links. I just want some hens that lay large or even extra large eggs!!!

If you want giant eggs, go with Sex-Links. I've heard that they lay nice large eggs. Though not common, I've heard that Minorcas are also known for laying large white eggs.
