Are Leghorns better layers than Barnevelders?

[Sophia5]

I've got two roosters at home, one a Leghorn and one a Barnevelder but, I can only keep one. I would like to keep the one that is a good layer so it can have babies that will be good layers.
Which chicken is better at laying?

I don't have experience with either breed, but from what I've read/heard, Leghorns are better layers. In fact, Leghorns are one of the best layers of all the chicken breeds.

X2 leghorns are better layers. Commercial White Leghorns are probably the best layer there is going by numbers of eggs... but even the colored ones are pretty good.

Leghorns are professional egg layers! My Barnevelders are pretty consistent layers. Their eggs are a pretty dark brown with spots. But the Leghorns are pros!

A leghorn will beat a barnevelder for laying.

Now with that said, my barnevelder roosters are the calmest roosters I've ever had. They are wonderful with the hens and babies. I just love their temperament.

Ok, thanks guys,
I think I will keep the leghorn then.

I have a brown leghorn that just started laying - about 6.5 months old - and she's already laid 3 eggs in 4 days at the beginning. I see this as the beginning of a very productive relationship. And they are decent size, healthy formed eggs as well.

My leghorn lays 6 a week, sometimes she doesn't take a day off and gives me 7...she's a trooper love her
