Dear Seedling, i know this is being quite selfish on my part but, i don't feel guilty in the least, as it has meant we have had the pleasure of your company on the Forum a lot more and that has to be a good thing.

Morning OH
If they look like this
they are ISA Brown, also known as Warrens. They are a cross between Rhode Island Red and Rhode Island White and popular with commercial producers for their ability to lay 300 or so eggs in their first year.
