I didnt want to ask because its probably something everyone knows

But we were just looking at a local chicken farm site and it had all the info about the chickens and the eggs

But which one is going to taste like the everyday eggs you buy in a supermarket.

Dont laugh its a serious question  :oops: I want my kids to enjoy the eggs and not say "I aint eating that"

My daughter loves eggs but when I brought duck eggs she tried the first one and wouldnt eat them again, apparently they werent right  :roll:

They don't taste anything like duck eggs (a lot of people don't like them) and they don't taste like shop bought eggs.

They taste just WONDERFUL  :!:  Your children will love them - They make shop eggs taste like wet laundry  :!:

Any of the laying hybrids will be just what you want

Thanks I am delaying the chickens until I feel I know more, hubby is making the house so I have time.

Another daft one but a hybrid isnt a sussex is it, the chicken man seemed to think they would be best  :oops:

Can I just add that FRESH duck eggs don't taste anything like shop bought ones which can be up to a week old when you buy them !!

Fresh Duck eggies are WONDERFUL TOO

I love them but they are not to everyone's taste.

A light sussex is a pure breed a hybrid is a bit of a mix of several.
Mine are rhode island red x light sussex and look like this



These are hybrid warrens



There's a bit of a difference if you look but my RIRxLS are definitely bigger and eat more. It's all a matter of personal choice really but for a simple straight forward egg layer then a hybrid may be better less chance of broodyness etc,  my warrens where a lot more calmer and easier to tame than my present lot.

Lovely chickens with a stunning colour
