CarraghsGem 92 Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 i understand they are rare.are they a good laying bird?do they lay white eggs? these are a new breed for me and mine havent started laying yet but the research ive done indicates they lay 3-4eggs a week during spring and summer, they were originally a meat breed, now they are more of a show bird than anything else. dont know egg colour until the hen starts laying.
