[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1399823, member: 24816"] I have been getting mostly white leghorns, and a few Golden Comets/Red Stars. The comets or stars have seemed to be about as good of layers as the Leghorns, but in each group of chickens several of their eggs consistently have imperfections about the shell that my mother doesn't like. It doesn't bother my wife and I so we have been using the brown eggs. I have been wondering if since they are bred for high egg production if there is something in their genes that makes them produce more shell material, that accounts for the extra shell growth bumps on the eggs. Had a leghorn once that always laid an egg with a shell that felt like sand paper, ( always felt so sorry for her when she layed those). My thinking was that we might try a more standard breed, that the egg shell quality may be more consistent. [/QUOTE]
