RE: The Homesteaders Handbook: Raising Chickens Part 2
We mainly have Buff Orpington and Road-island Reds for eggs and they have worked out well in the past, but this winter our egg production is down more then usual for winter. Very well written good work!
I've got a few Black Copper Marans and I think they might be my favourite layer. I would like to get a few Road-island hens, I've heard great things. Our egg production stops until spring but we don't give them any artificial light/heat in the winter.
