[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1773411, member: 24816"] It’s comical, what the public perception is about commercial breeds vs heritage breeds. They don’t realize Jerseys have been bred over the years to maximize milk production the same way Holsteins have, though there is still a breed difference in quantity and butterfat content. We got into that egg color thing selling at the farmers market, we started out with Leghorns and white eggs, the next year got heritage breed brown egg layers. This year, I threw some caveats in, black Minorcas that lay white eggs, and Amber Stars ( white or predominantly white commercial strain of layer chickens) that lay brown eggs, and a couple other heritage breeds for egg variety.
