We are super pleased with our poults from last year's breeding. These white/buff beauties are Leghorn/Orpington crosses and seem to have inherited the best of both breeds: prolific egg layers (most are now laying and seem to be giving us eggs 5 or 6 times a week) and they are also reasonably calm.
We do however need to get selling - we are now getting anything from 15 to 20 eggs a day (including 3 or 4 duck eggs) and even if the dogs have 2 each at supper time, that is a lot of eggs for just the two of us....
