Egg laying of New Hampshire’s

[Franklinridgefarms]

We purchased some New Hampshire pullet chucks from Tractor Supply in March. I believe our TSC gets there chickens from Hoover’s Hatchery. I have seen conflicting numbers in terms of egg production averages from several sources about this breed. I am interested to know if anyone has had New Hampshire’s and more specifically NH’s from Hoover’s? Also how do they compare with Black Australorps in terms of egg production?

Historically, New Hampsires' production is fair at about 4-5 a week or 260+ per year.
In the early 1900s Australorps were among the most productive breeds (in some lines). That isn't true any more. Now it is more like less than 250 a year.
