My Boyfriend bought some eggs

[ILoveReptiles]

does he know which species he ordered? Mixed would be interesting

Actually yes. They're all Barred Plymouth Rock, non-bantam (full size variety). He specifically ordered that breed because
1.) They're cold tolerant - ideal for New England
2.) They'll lay eggs even in the colder months
3.) They grow to oven roaster size. We plan to get one back once it's full grown, so we can have it for dinner.
