Are Hybrid Pekins Good Layers?

[zbraswell92]

I ordered 5 Hybrid Pekins, 5 Runners, 5 Khaki Cambells, and 5 Buff Orpgtns from Metzer Farms. Im curious if the Hybrid Pekins make good layers? Is this type of Pekin more for meat purposes?
I have a 3 year old standard Pekin drake, Guy. He will be the ruler of the flock.

I don't have Metzers Pekins but I get nearly an egg a day from my girls. Biggest egg of all my breeds. (my buffs, runners, golden 300s and harlequins came from Metzers).

Well, I don't have them either. They aren't technically a hybrid (people hear hybrid and think mixed breed) they are just a crossing of different Grimaud lines. According to Metzer's website one of the lines are good layers the other fast growers. So, I'd expect them to lay well.
