My Kabir hen has started laying. Five eggs so far. But, I am puzzled by the size of the egg. For a hen to be the size of a small turkey she lays eggs that look like they come from a Native chicken. I would grade them as small.

My Kabir rooster is probably headed to the pot. He attacked my wife this morning when she went to get the eggs. He doesn't bother me or the young man that helps me sometimes.

My wife gave him a reprieve this morning. She said just wait and see what he does.

My cross breeds should start laying very soon. I am wondering if the genetics will carry over so that we will get some colored eggs. If so, I will probably keep one of them because of the neighbors not understanding how a chicken can lay anything but a brown or white egg.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

I have no experience with the "kabir" but brahma are a huge chicken that lay small eggs.

Leghorn are a small chicken that lay huge eggs,

You will need to work out how much feed you are outlaying per gram of egg.

Thanks Mark, I don't have to figure out the cost with her or the Kabir rooster, because they both eat like they are horses instead of chickens. The rooster is already destined for the stew pot with some noodles.

Quote: Kabir are big eaters but I feed them just enough, I have 4 roosters that are getting fat for Christmas, should be about 25kg's of meat
