Is anyone bringing White Crested Black Polish - either pullets/cockrels or hatching eggs??? I have a breed pen set up, and am dying to have these!!

Also looking for Silver Laced Wyandottes!!

Thanks, guess I'll switch back to RIR's. I have a variety now including several BA's but I've been very disappointed with them. I have several that are 8 months old and still not laying.

I have Isa Browns and they don't skip a beat no matter what the weather is like. I get mostly large to jumbo eggs.

Are Isa Browns the same as Comets.

What is a BA? I have large Brahmas, and they are very slow to mature, but even they are usually laying by 8 months. I have heard, don't know if it's true or not, but if a bird really needs to be wormed, that could interfere with the laying. Are you sure of the age of the birds?

I'm sure of the age of my BA's. I hatched them in my incubator. Very healthy birds, just no eggs yet.
