I have a Brahma x Sussex (Murray McMurray sold it to me as a "purebred" Brahma

) that could work. . . It will kill the egg color for generations but it may work.

She's got the single comb, the feathered shanks, etc.

Otherwise a Sussex may work best.

wanna see pix of the eggies they lay... I had them take a pic for me... (it will take a min to upload).... I had a cree hen die...(eggbound) and so I had to replace her... They really lay as dark as the pics

Well I have to say that if any animal was allowed to tresspass on my property, then yes I'd claim any valuables that it left behind.

Keep your birds AND your dogs on your own property!!!!!!

Sorry for your loss

- I really do want to see your amazing Cree eggs though.

My own Crees are doing wonders. . . The cockerel with the weird eye problem just may after all be kept for a breeding rooster. I have a theory that he's the one that hatched from my REALLY glossy egg, and with all the troubles that chick had. . . Is why he's got a weird eye thing going on. The main thing that has him winning me over is he's the only really sweet, laidback, and friendly Marans cockerel I've had, his comb is the only one that is coming in at just the shape I want, and he's already getting copper hackles coming in now. . .
