Historically raised for both meat and eggs, modern strains are primarily bred for their excellent egg-laying abilities.
They are considered among the best layers of dual-purpose chickens, producing large brown eggs.
This breed is known for its hardiness, strong constitution, and ability to tolerate less-than-ideal housing and dietary conditions.
Full-grown hens typically weigh around 6 to 6.5 pounds, while roosters can reach about 8.5 pounds.
Chicks are widely available from hatcheries, with prices varying based on quantity and sex.
