My EE LAY WELL, MY NAKED NECK NEVER MISSES A DAY, ( sorry forgot caps was on ) my RIR have always been mean so they lay a year and by then there gone! Buffs go broody fast and often, my wheaten lay awesome also. I have two new birds called Sagitta and im anxious to know when they lay and about the egg size. They are twelve weeks old and grew faster then any bird i have ever had!

They may slow, or produce less, but generally larger eggs. Many hens lay older than three years

I have to agree! I have a 6 yr old white AM that occasionally lays, 2 5 year old EEs that have been laying at least 4 eggs a week.

I have a Brown Leghorn that is laying every day, a Dominique that lays about every other day, 2 Barred Rocks that I'm wondering WHEN they're going to lay, (do they start late ?) and my game/mixed hen lays every day.

My flock of 6 hatchery birds, Barred Rock and EE, gave me a consistent 4 eggs a day this spring / summer in their 5th laying season. They will turn 5 years old in early February. They do molt earlier and longer with each year. But the Barred Rock have been outstanding layers and start to lay again in January, after fall molt.
