This hen is directly off NBRC-88-539 the full sister to Jerry Higgins old 923 cock. She dropped her second egg no problem anything 7 years old is a plus.How old are some of the hens you guys might have still producing?

The grizzle hen in this photo is a 97 Hen from Mort Emami. I have had her since 2002. She lays one egg no problem...but the second eggs are either soft shelled or she does not lay at all. I have just given her calcium to help her out. She is now mated to my Red baldy and has produced 2 young this year.

Paul at 10 years just 1 egg is still good . To be able to still produce is the good thing. John M.Loft(HDRC)So,Cal.

My pr of Gary Stephens birds are 97s and their punching them out two at a time! Hope they keep it up at least the rest of the summer. I keep them off by theirselves to keep the stress down.
