But hey they laying some nice big eggs these days.

I named him Cornflakes because he likes corn and there is a rooster on the cornflakes box, odd name isn't it? But it suits him

Ha!! Supposedly the Kellogg's Cornflakes Rooster was fashioned after the Welsummer.

Red sex links(usually called isa browns, golden comets, etc) are birds that are mainly produced for egg laying in the US, don't know if they are available in the Australia. If you want to make a red sex link you need a Rhode island red rooster and a White Plymouth Rock hen, don't know if Plymouth rocks are available is Australia

Yeah isa browns are in Australia. And Plymouth rocks. Not sure on the white colour. That rooster I got his mother is a isa brown. When he hatched he was nearly all white same as his brother. I have his brother he's still growing.he's way bigger.he hasn't matured yet
