I have RIR's and a GLW who have been laying every day for me for at least 2 months now. They are still pullets, but they lay like clock-work.

I was just going to say Leghorns. White Leghorns can lay as many as 300 eggs per year and they lay a really nice, large white egg. I have 4 pullets now for this very reason.

Rhode Island Reds and White Leghorns are famous for being great layers. They're the ones used in huge factories.

There are also hybrid layers, generally sex-links. I have four Gold Sex-Links myself and I get a huge egg every day from each of them

Plus they make great pets and they're fairly small. My biggest GSL weighs only 5 pounds.

The science of it is a chicken lays an egg every 23 hours. Science is wrong. Ask any chicken owner.
