I recently ordered 5 Black Australorps, 5 Buff Orpingtons, and five Americaunas pullets. Which hens lay the best?

Wow! I'm glad i ordered five of them haha im sure the others will try to keep up haha
Ha! I guess that was during a competition of some sort
I guess that was an exceptional amount of eggs for any breed including leghorns!
Unfortunately you probably can expect around 180-200 a year, but that is still a lot of eggs!
Overall, I think our Black Australorps outlay the Buff orpingtons...not by much, but the Australorps seem to be more consistent year round.
I would say the Australorps, they have a record of one hen laying 364 eggs in 365 days.

2 - Orpingtons
3 - Easter Eggers ( If you want true Ameraucanas, you must get them from a breeder. Since you're ordering from a hatchery your "Ameraucanas" are going to be Easter Eggers.
