A harder feathered bird would get rid of the fluff.You would pickup the dark brown egg color {olive egger} but new hollands are said to lay white eggs with red ear lobes.This could elinimante the green eggs.Selection required but can be done.Result would be nice blue eggs in time.Some good blacks with good egg color and not much fluff would be quicker.I am thinking Paul Smith bred.Excellent show stock already.Less time,less feed,less pen space.I see some Smith line on ebay now.I think I may buy for this project.Straight from Paul would be best but these are eggs and will be less cost than chicks.No offense to Paul.Just making a cost drcision.
I was really looking forward to diving back into this project. Got back from out of town to find 5 of my 6 girls in this pen all broody. Going to be a long summer!!!!!
