Product Description

OMG - if you want a huge white egg almost every single day of the year, a hen who will be good as gold mixing with an existing flock, doesn't become a bully, or let herself by bullied, then this is the girl for you.These hens are the most used hens for commercial white eggs, and we can see why. Small framed bodies, they eat less than all other hybrid birds, but produce consistent large sized eggs 330 days of the year, but on about 5kg less chicken food. They are great in large of small places, they are just super easy to look after. 

Good for a cuddle? Nope .... Good for children? Nope... they won't care a less about bonding with a human,... unless you are solely getting hens for eggs, then I wouldn't get a whole flock of them, but I would 100% add one of these into every flock, purely because they are no hassle, very robust, consistent egg layer, and the huge white eggs look great in a bowl. 

Egg colour is pure white and large. 

You can expect approx. 330+ eggs per year. 

Your hen may start to lay at around 18-20 weeks old, she will be laying at 50% capacity by the time she is 22 weeks old, and will be at full laying capacity at around 30 weeks old.
