I've had Golden Comets since Feb. and through cold, wet, ice, snow and even now- well into the molt, the girls are still producing an egg each a day. In the cold months, they have a light in their coop so that helps keep them warm and laying.

Oh I forgot to add- the Golden Comets lay large brown eggs and do not have feathered feet.

I've heard good things about the Braggs Mountain Buff, never seen one, though. Here is the website: www.braggsmountainpoultry.com/

He had some when I was little, but I'm not sure he really likes them? I kind of want this to be a 'surprise', and figure if I buy 10-15 pullets that he decides he doesn't want, I can always sell them

is he dead set on brown eggs. there are the very colorful ee's and i have seen more exotic colors and patterns with the white egg layers like campines and buttercups.

Yeah, he's pretty old school. I don't know about EE, but I know white egg layers are a no go.
