Your opinion wanted: white eggs.

On Barred Hollands: when I saw Shaded (sheesh, I have enough of a hard time learning names now I know them by their handles) she told me about her Barred Hollands and the birds she got were inbred and had problems with fertility and finding new bloodlines. If she's on here you should get her to tell her full story.

Either that or we have to found a group: chicken keepers anonymous. "Hi I'm Robbie... and I'm a compulsive chicken keeper...."

Too far gone for that, beyond help already.......... actually don't want to be cured............

No barred hollands will be bred pure , they are strictly for crossing. That solves a lot of problems

We have Buff and Red Leghorns as well as Andalusians right now that we are babysitting and I like thier white eggs. I do miss my rainbow egg baskets though. My Chanteclers lay a very light brown egg so I don't have much to compare anything to at the moment. Maybe next year I'll have a little pen of EES to make some pretty eggs, but there's not much room right now.
