Many Other recessive genes, such as that for feathered legs, have been eliminated from the Braggs Mountain Buff by selective breeding. There remains, however, an occasional recessive gene for white feather color which exists to the extent that about five percent of Braggs Mountain Buff chickens may turn out to be white. This gene for white feather color seems to be linked to genes that favor the larger sized eggs. Eventually this can be eliminated from the buff strain.

Qouting Kelly Klober from page 23 of the May/June 2003 Small Farm Today magazine, "I have long felt the real appeal of the brown egg was its extra large or even jumbo size. We are, after all, selling to a culture that equates a bargin with 'super sizing'."
Most breeds require several weeks or even months to pass through the phase of laying tiny "pullet eggs". Braggs Mountain Buff pullets lay eggs graded as medium to large with the second or third egg. At nine months of age the pullets lay about 30% large, 30% extra large, and 40% jumbo as measured by the standard egg weight scale. As the pullets become older the eggs become even larger so that by 10 months of age the majority of eggs are jumbo.
Recipe For A Braggs Mountain Buff

For the remaining 10 percent season with traces of Barred Plymouth Rock, Jersey White Giant, White Leghorn, and Black Australorp to create a truly "All American Chicken".
