Brown Bovans



The nurse at school gave me 5 new chickens. They are Brown Bovans. Never heard of them but hope Patsy will tell me they are a good breed.

The BOVANS BROWN is a brown feathered, brown egg layer which has the ability to meet the expectations of a variety of egg producers with different objectives. She is the bird of choice for today's egg farmers who expects high egg numbers and a forgiving bird, all essential ingredients to keep their business profitable. She not only performs well for the egg producer with traditional production facilities, being very docile is making her the perfect bird for alternative production methods as well.
these are red sex links which you have now and lay lots of brown eggs.

Our new brown egg layer first generation ISA Brown and Bovan Breeds. Pullets are Red. Cockerels are white. Bred for exceptional laying ability. so your chicks should be pullets. I found one hatchery that was selling brown bovans it was ridgeway and they said males were white.
