Burford Brown

The Burford Brown is a breed of chicken, which lays very dark brown eggs with thick shells. They will lay up to 200 eggs in the first year. The breed was developed in 1990 at Broadway in the Cotswolds, by farmer Philip Lee-Woolf, who used bloodlines handed down by his maternal grandmother, Mabel Pearman. Now the Mabel Pearman's Burford Brown eggs have become a household name in the United Kingdom, and are to be found on shelves in a huge variety of shops throughout the country.
