Best Egg Layer Award!

[CloneFly]

Who do you think deserve the Best Egg Layer Award? I've listed some of the more well known breeds and would love to hear your input and personal experience! I'm considering expanding my flock in the spring and am looking for super layers. Top 5 make the pick

As far as overall egg production and quality White Leghorns are easily the top.
For brown egg production, the commercial layers Red Stars, ISA Browns etc would be the best.
My pick for noncommercial brown egg layer, I’m going to say that New Hampshires are the best kept secret in the chicken world. They may not lay quite as many as a RIR but they lay consistent and large good quality eggs, even through the winter, though naturally they do slow down during that time.

My best egglayer has been a Black Sex link! She missed very few egg laying days, about every day she laid.

Of course, she screamed her lungs out making me CARRY her (even in snow) to a shed in our yard that had a nice cozy chair in it, thats where she lays eggs at. We brought the chair in the coop but obviously thats a ridiculous idea, the chair must stay in the shed!

I agree! Leghorns make gorgeous large eggs, and IMO with a little calcium supplementation after the age of 2-4 they will keep laying consistently for quite some time

My Leghorn lays every day. It's snowing? She lays an egg. Molting? Lays an egg. She's a machine!

Whiting True Blue, she is a super layer of large blue eggs! She is gearing up after her winter break and has laid 8 eggs in a row. She's 2 1/2yrs old

I'm definitely interested in some leghorns Just curious as to what y'all think of the other birds up on the board!

Another breed I've had that were pretty identical to leghorns as far as production was Blue Andalusians

My 2 sexlinks are my best layers too by far! One of my girls will violently peck at me until I hold her. They're such personalities!
