Gold Deathlayer
The hens of this breed are so productive they are said to lay an egg each day until the day they die. While we can not guarantee an egg every single day, the Deathlayers do lay a large volume of medium-sized white eggs, and their remarkable appearance is like having visiting royalty in your chicken coop.
They are a phenomenally active free-ranging breed and are sure to become a favorite with small-scale egg producers and backyard hobbyists. These beautiful birds display a pencilled feather pattern, small comb, white earlobes, and gray legs. The breed is clean-legged. They are typically between 5 to 6 pounds for the roosters and between 3 to 4 pounds for the hens. The hens will normally lay about 4 eggs per week on average which is about 200 to 250 medium-sized, white eggs per year. The hens will lay for a very long time and hence their name, typically will lay up until they die.
These birds prefer free ranging or larger coops. you will find that if they have a lot of space you will both be much, much happier. The hens don't typically go broody so if you plan to hatch chicks, you will need to invest in an incubator.

Chick Sexing Guarantee
On standard breeds this procedure is about 90% accurate. This a means that you have a 10% chance of getting a rooster. If you ABSOLUTELY can not own a rooster, please purchase breeds which are sexed much more accurately. Sex links and auto-sexing breeds are sexed with a 99% success rate. This means your chance of getting a rooster is extremely rare. While we do our very best to sell properly sexed birds, please understand the difficulty in this task. We can not take back roosters that you can not keep.
Health Guarantee
We hand raise all of our chicks in the best conditions possible. They are fed quality feed from the very first day and provided fresh clean water.
