    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.

    Bantam chicken egg production?

    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...

    Bantam chicken egg production?

    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...

    Where can I get some Buff Orpingtons besides a hatchery?

    Yeah I found their site earlier in my searches but their chicks are for pick-up only and it's too far of a drive for me to do that.

    Where can I get some Buff Orpingtons besides a hatchery?

    I have been searching all over the internet for a breeder that sells and ships Buff Orpington chicks but I can't find anything? A couple of places ship eggs but not chicks. I figure that BYC is going to give me the best chance of finding what I want. So how about it anyone got any names you can...

    Excited! My first time hatching eggs

    I think the key is to make sure that you read some of the feedback on the person whom you are buying the shipped eggs from. That's what first and felt pretty confident in what I was getting.
