How many years do the leghorns lay eggs

 

[BullChick]

LH are bred to lay like crazy for two years, then slooooooow down. Most chickens are good for four years before slowing down to that extreme.
Do you have other breeds?

Hello, and welcome! Glad that you joined! Do you already have the Brown Leghorn's, or are you just in the planning stage?

Leghorn and leghorn mixes are egg laying machines..not sure the actual number for a year, but I imagine it's in the 300s. They rarely take breaks!

Welcome to BYC! Thanks for joining!


ETA I misread the question
They will lay their whole lives, but the most eggs come in the first 2 years.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Some lay for a very long time, others succumb to reproductive issues early due to their heavy egg production.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Leghorns are power layers for the first couple few years, some continue on, others fizzle out. But overall a good layer.
