A Sign Of The Times

Mike,

First of all, you shouldn't be buying eggs from Costco.  You should be buying them fresh from your neighbor!  Whatever extra they may cost is worth it!

Secondly, they probably came from Rhode Island Reds, which are known as the best laying chickens available.
I've had White Leghorns, Golden Comets, RI Reds, Aracaunas, Cochins, and Wynadotes and the Reds always come through for me- about an egg per day!  The Leghorns, on the other hand, had bad attitudes and didn't last very long.

We used to have RI Reds. They like to dig up the flowers when they were out of the pen! We had some once that had feathers down their legs that looked like boots-pretty funny

This talk of cows some how got to be all about chickens! I guess my original question about the difference in the two was answered by Henry sometime back--thanks Henry!
