Orps seem more hardy to me than sussex.... maybe just me.

well you cant show EE eggers because its not a true breed its a mutt id cross out ee and put orpingtons in there

I would recommend Silver Grey Dorkings -- The pullets come in to lay early,& lay approx. 6 eggs per week. They make wonderful broody hens & mothers. Both the hens & roos are gentle & approachable & will eat out of your hand. Both males & females look beautiful. They are large birds & make great meat birds.

After not having chickens for 20 years, I have 5 baby sexlinks. Certain they will work out fine for delicious eggs, One can hope, All I know is they are a month old now, very cute and eat out of my hand

The only showing I do with my Gold Comets is to take my friends out to the run and show 'em where those big beautiful brown eggs they buy from me come from. They bring their little ones over to see Miss Teresa's Chicken Ranch and they get to go in with them and pet them. The GC's love people and squat any time the kids get up enough courage to reach down and pet them. You should see the looks in their eyes. Now, that's showing enough for me... What kind of showing are you talking about?
