Wisconsin Bill Would Treat Organic Milk, Sharp Cheddar, Brown Eggs as "Junk Food"

33. I'm not sure you mean by red "crest".

Google says that a chicken "crest" is the same as the "comb".

We had some Brown Leghorns with beautiful Red Floppy Combs
that laid white eggs. The Leghorns were nice, friendly birds and were great layers,
but on the small side.

I've always been taught to look at their ears.
Whatever color the ears are will determine what color the eggs will be,
and Brown Leghorns have white ears.

We keep anywhere from 8 - 20 free range chickens of several breeds,
and we let our hens retire in comfort.
After they stop laying, the eat very little food.


We will never be able to go back to those pale, anemic, tasteless Factory Eggs sold at the super market.

On Edit:
In Exhaustive personal Blind Tests,
neither my Wife nor I could tell the difference between White Eggs and Brown Eggs
in either Appearance or Taste once the shells were removed,
and according to the research in Mother Earth News and other "Organic" "Free Range" publications, there is no difference in nutrition either.

We currently don't have any Leghorns, but would be happy to keep some in the future,
however we will avoid White Birds of any breed because they make too obvious targets for hawks and eagles.
