I currently have 7 New Hampshire Reds and have room for more. This breed produces roughly 200 eggs per year. NHR will continue producing less during winter which is something I also prefer in a breed. They are free range and I live in Kansas so we have hot summers and cold winters so there are already a few breeds I cannot have.
I personally think that a chicken producing an egg every day or even every other day is unnecessary and cruel. Creating an egg is not easy on the chicken and they never get a break.
Which other breeds would fit what I am looking for? I am thinking Dorkings or perhaps Wyandottes? 1-2 eggs per week is what I am looking for.
