Faverolles

Is the BR incubating the eggs, or laying one of her own. More dominant hens will push others out of a favored nest box, lay their egg then go on their merry way.

Faverolles, orpingtons, cochins - but more important than the breed is the source. Hatchery bred birds have been selected more for production.
