Thanks so much for responding Would they lay large brown eggs? They are my best brown egg layers. How could i get more? Do you know?

You could maybe breed the cockerel with the hens you already have and they may come out as brown egg layers ? I'm not sure.

you could also get them from hatcheries.http://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/heavy_breeds.html?cl=crumbtrail http://www.purelypoultry.com/brown-egg-layers-common-c-154_169.htmlhttp://www.efowl.com/Gold_Sex_Link_Chickens_p/1038.htm

this rooster is a red sex link rooster. His counter part hens are red/gold with white tips and tails. They're marketed under several brand names--red stars, gold comets, cinnamon queens to name a few. If you breed this rooster to red sex link hens you'll still get nice layers, but you'll lose the sex linkage part of the cross.
