    Bantam chicken egg production?

    It's a nice list and I've seen a few like it, but actually hearing from folks that have compared the egg laying abilities of these bantam breeds vs each other seems a lot harder to come buy.

    Bantam chicken egg production?

    I live in southeastern Ohio. It hasn't been consistently cold here yet but we've had some mid 20 degree nights. Probably getting about 10-11 hours of daylight per day.

    Bantam chicken egg production?

    Brahma's have being doing great, but honestly, all 3 breeds are doing well. Egg production from the entire flock (19 hens) is now averaging 10 eggs per day, sometimes I get 9 and sometimes I get 11.

    Awesome, so far out of the 3 breeds they are my favorite. I had some Easter Eggers before and I really enjoyed them as well. I plan on adding some more of those to my flock this coming spring.

    Bantam chicken egg production?

    I have 19 hens all together and I'm getting between 6-8 eggs per day. I wouldn't put too much stock into that though because I really expect those numbers to climb, they haven't been laying for very long and so I don't think that the averages right now would be very indicative of what it will be...

    Update: All 3 breeds of my bantams are laying pretty regularly now and this is what the egg sizes looks like so far. I added a standard sized chicken egg in the one picture to give a better idea of the bantam egg sizes. From left to right: Buff Brahma, Barred Rock, Rhode Island Red. I think...

    Bantam chicken egg production?

    Are they typical bantam sized eggs? And how many per week would you say that they lay?

    Bantam chicken egg production?

    I think that this is an excellent post and I really hope that it takes off. I've researched bantam egg information and there really isn't a whole lot of good stuff available with regards to size and production. Having raised bantams in the past I do know that 1.The eggs taste exactly like...

    Where can I get some Buff Orpingtons besides a hatchery?

    Well everybody has their own opinions but in my opinion most breeders have better quality and better looking chickens. They tend to not have as many different breeds as a hatchery as so they can focus their attentions to detail in producing quality chickens as opposed to quantity. Not saying...
