This has to be my favorite breed of all time, right up there with EEs. I have two, and they are now nine years old and still giving us an egg a month. In their height of life, they'd give us five or six a week. Their rose combs are perfect in the winter, and fluff up nicely in the winter, and don't struggle with New England's 80*F summers, unlike the muffed Easter Eggers we have. They have also never been sick, except for one, who was not vaccinated for Mareks and died of that years ago.
