ISA Brown
Top Choice For Beginners
Personable & People Friendly
Big egg producer
The best choice for 1st time enthusiasts. Great egg layers, 300+ medium sized brown eggs. Because of the volume of eggs produced, they may need supplemental protein as they convert this directly into egg production. Gentle and not flighty even around children, perfect for families. They also mature earlier than most and in usually 16 – 20 weeks will start laying. Most other hens take 4 – 6 weeks longer.
