Can you please choose three breeds that you think are the BEST brown egg layers. not hybrids or sex links, Thanks!
 
Well obviously the leghorns will be the top and sometimes I am sorry I didn't get a few, but family just had to see some brown eggs. I would use the dual purposes like RIR, Black Austrolorps and Barred Rocks.
 
Till about 6 weeks ago, the Cochin I have that looks like a Barred Rock with feathery feet, has been my best Brown Egg layer. She was giving about 5 eggs a week that were always around 2 ounces. But then she (and the rest of the girls) went on strike. Just got my first egg in about a month, this afternoon.
