Heavy Breeds

Black Australorp A beautiful dual purpose bird! Their plumage is shiny black with a purple-greenish sheen. Even though these are large birds, they have a good brown egg laying record - up to 300 eggs per year! Hens are early maturing; usually producing eggs within 5 to 6 months. Besides being fine egg layers, these birds also make good fryers.		Golden Laced Wyandottes A beautful heavy breed that is most easily described as having similar coloring as the Golden Sebrights. Roosters are regal and have "game bird" coloring. Hens produce brown eggs.
Buff Orpington Originating from England, these pure golden colored birds are large, stately fowl with a very peaceful disposition. They dress out very well, providing a plump juicy Sunday dinner. They are super brown egg producers, as well. These birds will make your chicken coop look great!	Curious on the price of these guys, here's our 2015 pricelist.	Silver Laced Wyandottes These are a hardy, heavy breed that lay well through cold weather. Their broad-feathered plumage is silvery white with a contrasting greenish black border. Brown egg layers.
Cornish Cross These are the famous white, broad-breasted Hubbards that produce those fantastic fryers in only eight weeks!
