Best: Olive Egger/Marans cross. She doesn't lay the most eggs, but they are impeccable--same size, shape, color, always every 36-48 hours like clockwork, perfect shell thickness. I value consistency more than quantity. She's A+ in my book.
Worst: Currently, my Lt. Brahma. Her egg shells have been on the thin side lately and I suspect she might be the one laying the soft shelled eggs I see now and then. Plus, she squashes other eggs (I think because she is so big and kicks eggs around when nesting; I'm padding the boxes to hopefully help) I do love her though.
