Barred Holland Flock update

Xavier 

 My flock is coming along really well.   My mom is helping me and.  We are now working on the third generation of white egg layers.  The eggs have increased in size by 1 cm. in both width and length and the white has been lightened by about two shades.

My mom thinks that the majority of the improvements come from  diet and environment mostly and partly from selective breeding.

This years hatches have been from much larger eggs.   The chicks are bigger and more robust.  We have had a 95% hatch rate.
Our girls had a hard winter.  It never snows her.  Heck......we live
in the South.  But....this year it snowed. Three times and the girls never missed a beat.   They never stopped laying.
