That's awesome, but how? Do you only choose good layers for the cross?

I was just kiddin', Kelly! They DO seem to lay well, though.

Oh, I'm such a sucker! Duh! Just take advantage that I'm trying to learn all this breeding stuff.

Nah...not a sucker! There are plenty of folks who breed for laying ability!! Like I said, though, this cross DOES seem to lay lots! ANd, their eggs are big, which is nice! All 3 of mine lay XL, bordering on Jumbo, and they are 1st year layers!
