Heritage Breeds
Barred Rocks
Recognizable by their contrasting black and gray plumage, the dual purpose Barred Rock has been a favorite brown-egg layer on American farmsteads for over a century.
Rhode Island Reds
This cherry-colored beauty from the Northeast has contributed to the development of many of today’s commercial brown egg hybrids. Another great option for both eggs and meat.

Golden Laced Wyandottes
Developed in Wisconsin in the 19th century, this dual-purpose brown-egg layer is noted for their stunning combination of gold and black plumage along with their frostbite-resistant rose combs.

Speckled Sussex
