RIR, dominickers(I think. strollingbones told me they could be another breed) and some white fat hen. Cant remember her breed either.What breed? I always liked Rhode Island Reds and fed them a diet high in corn to get big eggs. Got lots of double yoke eggs when I fed them almost total corn. I know they have special feeds for egg layers but I never tried it. Grew plenty of corn.Im glad I have chickens. lol
You will like those welsummers. They have cool personalities, but you may not be happy with the production numbers. They definitely don't produce like the Rhode Islands or Dominickers, but maybe that was just my experience.RIR, dominickers(I think. strollingbones told me they could be another breed) and some white fat hen.

About to get some welsummers in a few weeks. They still too young.
My RIR rooster isn't my alpha, but he is one pretty cock.
Its ok. We only want them because they are pretty lol. We only eat eggs on the weekends, so we don't need too many.You will like those welsummers.

I bought some large eggs yesterday. I usually buy the extra large, but those have seemed like only large size compared to what they used to be. So, I went to make some hardboiled eggs and opened the box marked large and couldn't believe how small they were. Is the egg industry getting over on us? I raised layers a few times and I know how to produce large and extra large eggs, even eggs with double yokes. Should I contact the egg industry and tell them how to do it?

What are you talking about?Can't we even talk about the changing size of eggs at the market without bringinG partisan politics into the discussion?Lame? Wrong. Even people in cities keep chickens or ducks for eggs. Meanwhile you are moaning over SMALL EGGS AT THE STORE.Must be evolution, eh? Meanwhile, you want eggs, and you don't like the little ones at the store? Grow your own.You have choices, Camp. Keep ducks or chickens in your yard for fresh eggs, buy from someone who does, or look inside the container before you buy it at the grocery store.
They're ALL small at the grocery store. I think that's the point.
The size stamped on the boxes hasn't changed. The size on the eggs has.
Why are you upset anyway? Noted nutrition expert michelle obama says we should eat less. Smaller eggs. Less food. Now. Let's move!
Food producers and packages have been playing with sizes for quite some time now. Instead of a pould you get 14 oz's, etc. I just didn't realize the egg people were jumping in on the bandwagon. Now I know and will adjust and adapt. My main concern was how the egg sizes relate to baking and other cooking recipes.

Those huge eggs are the result of line bred battery chickens raised and fed to do one thing...make big eggs. When you tell farmers they have to be kinder and give chickens more space and sunlight, chickens.lay less. When you dictate to farmers that each chicken needs x amt of space they are going to start getting smaller chickens, whonlay smaller eggs that cost you more. You're welcome.
