BEST Brown Egg laying breed ?

My RIRs lay all winter long too! I am in Georgia so the winters arent so terrible. I get eggs everyday regardless. They seemt o take turns on who will take a break LOL! If one stops the others lay so i always get eggs.
 
I live in East Tn. I have 18 of the barred rock hens. Even when the temps were in the 30's i was getting at least a dozen eggs a day. I had some RIR's but they don't seem to like the cold as much.

So if you see chilly temps and don't have a heated hen house the Barred Rocks are my choice for nice large to extra large brown eggs

Good Luck

Barred Rocks and Rhode Island Reds. The sexlinks are good layers, but in general, burn out sooner and of course, if you want purebreds and not hybrids, you'd want to go with the first two I mentioned. Personality-wise, for friendliness and curiosity, the Barred Rocks are a better bet, but I have some pretty okay Rhode Island Reds, too.
