This is a "jumbo silkie". I was told these were selectively bred for 30 yrs by a German woman starting in the 60's until she died in the 90's. They came to the US at that point. I have 10 of them. I love them. I was told thet would lay 250 eggs/yr. Hens 4lbs, roosters 6lbs. Has anyone ever heard of the German woman?
