Everyone always asks "who lays the DARKEST Chocolate eggs.  Well, here you have it!  Not all BCM's are created equal either.  As a general rule this DUAL PURPOSE large bodies bird lays darkest of ANY breed, however, to get those really deep and rare darks it takes time, dedication and lots of patience.  The secret ingredient???  THE ROOSTER!   In order to keep breeding for those large DARK eggs you have to have a rooster who hatched from a dark egg.  That in itself takes lots of organization and time.  I label and take pictures of all my birds WITH the egg they hatched from!    If he hatched from a 5 on the color chart, no matter how dark the hen laid, off springs won't lay dark!  GENETICS play such a big role  which also includs demeanor.   Kind and gentle roosters to both hens and humans are the only ones I will use in my breeding program because that is passed down!

This breed in particular in my opinion has one of the kindest gentle giant of a rooster and the hens are the first to jump on my lap looking for a treat.

Please note BCM eggs are one of the hardest to hatch because of their dark, thick shells. I guarantee my packaging and eggs arriving safe to you but I DO NOT guarantee hatch rate.  So many variables that are out of my hand.

• APPROX. 240 LARGE EGGS/YEAR
• EGG COLOR: DARK BROWN
• MATURE WEIGHT: MALE 6 LBS. FEMALE 4.5 LBS.
