After a two-year absence, I have finally found a source for ISA Browns.
The ISA Brown variety is the #1 choice for maximum egg production and feed efficiency.
They are very similar to a NOVOgen, except their color is brown rather than red.
At 20 weeks of age, their first 76 weeks of laying, with proper care, they produce 20% more eggs and eat 30% less feed than a normal large breed hen. They are excellent at free-ranging and are gentle and easy to work with.
They have smaller bodies and are definitely not a meat or dual-purpose bird.
