I have one Golden Comet. She has laid an impossible number of eggs in her 4 year old life. In her first year she got egg bound along with a vent infection, and a sour crop. I took her to a vet that treated chickens and I nursed her for 4 weeks. I am elderly and good at it. She recovered and has given me a ridiculous number of eggs since. Two of those years she only took 2 days off. This season she has slowed down to 5 a week with 2 of the eggs pointy. I will allow her to retire gracefully and live out her life with my deepest respect and gratitude.

Sounds beautiful !!!

Nice channel. Been raising hens for about ten years now, enjoy the hobby alot. I picked up a few in March and they've been paying every day since August. They are definitely great layers. It's too bad they dont last as long as other breeds. They are a very friendly bird for sure. Thank you for all the info you provide

Will do! Thank you for your service

We have of these beautiful chickens. Large brown jumbo eggs. So lovely. Eggs every day.

Just got 5 GC chicks. Picked them for egg production and temperament. Great experience for my young teenagers.

I have had golden comet as my main flock quite a few times . They always bred true for me for 3 generations .

SOOOO... This happened: I have a flock of about 😊 17 chickens ( including 2 Turkeys). In that flock is a "He-Doesn't-know- he's-small" SILKIE Rooster , and his lady , a Blue Spash Silkie. So my Silkie Rooster managed to violate my disabled Golden Comet "Little-One", ( She was born with a bad leg and can only hop on one leg and uses a bad leg for balance. She cannot fly either... I fed her every two hours by hand when she was a little... We did not think she was going to make it) anyway , I saved a couple of her eggs for a few days after he got to her , And out of curiosity put them in my incubator in the house... The egg hatched today. I am ecstatic and excited and very very curious to see what this precious little one grows up to look like... so far even in the incubator at 1 hour old. I can tell it has 4 toes but it has the large eyes of the Partridge Silkie dad. And a slightly curved beak like its father but it has the colorings of Little One, the golden comet. So Do you have any opinion or ideas thank you so much😊😊

How did it turn out?

Aka ISA brown. If you really want a good layer, these are phenomenal.

Have you done a video on polish if not can you do one I love the polish breed and I want to learn more about them your channel is very helpful

😎found a lost or abandoned one while walking the dog in the Bronx. Coolest bird I've met.. so adaptable..nephew named her KFC the "bootleg ghetto parrot"..I'm supposedly looking for a sanctuary😂just procastinating saying goodbye😞dealt w a lot of literal💩

I have red & golden comet hens & a black/white Brahma roo. I have 2 chicks, 1 Roo that’s reddish brown with green tail feathers & a black hen. What type of bird would they be?

I've had Red Star hens in the past. That's what Murray McMurray calls their red sex link birds. They were good chickens and I can't recommend against them but I have settled on Silver Spangled Hamburgs. Strangely, I usually recommend against the breed I keep.

My Comet is my favorite girl. We call her nosey Rosie. She always has to know what is new in the yard so she can tell everyone else about it. 😂

My 4 are so noisy they have to watch me. Yesterday I cleaned out the coop scooping out dirty bedding. They all got in there digging around. Like they were embarrassed their house was dirty. So funny.

I have 8 chickens, with 2 being golden comet hens. They are the two meanest out of the whole flock and almost killed one of my other hens. They bully my rooster as well, but they are excellent layers

My guess: they are some other red sex link, not Golden Comets.

Maybe separate them? I am not versed in anything reguarding chickens other than the what they look like and what people eat chicken sandwich and bacon and eggs, etc. I apologize for my lack of knowledge.

we got 12 of them lol, two for free we didn't even ask for 12 but the chicks had nowhere to go. currently they are 6 days old

I love my red birds!!!!

Have 6 and just got 15 more lay eggs all winter long. Egg a day from them.

I purchased what I was told was buff Orpingtons but they look more like comets to me and they lay like crazy.

Yeah I bought some buffs too and there is one that always looked different and I noticed her tail was whiter and I finally saw her feet were yellow compared to the other buffs at least I think those are lol there feet aren’t as yellow

Are they considered dual purpose, and are they Cold hardy ????

No, just for egg production. Their body is small 4 lbs. As of 2023-2024 winter mine did well. Their small comb helped against frost bite
