Good hens with jumbo eggs?

[Granny23]

Im thinking about adding 2 hens to the 4 I have. Id like a breed that lays extra large or jumbo eggs ane is friendly to be added to our very mellow flock.

I've never had them, but jersey giants might work.

Production breeds lay well. I have golden comets or red sex links.

Second the Golden Comet. Our two (currently 14 months old) lay jumbo or larger every single day.

I hadn't even thought of them! Thank you. My granddaughter was looking at a Minorca? Don't know much about the different breeds just the regular ones.

I've heard that mincoras lay large eggs, but also that they are flighty.
*I haven't had either breed, this is just what I have heard

 

[Earthdale]

Does quantity of eggs matter or just size?

Don't forget that hens who lay super sized eggs often suffer from laying related issues.

Isa Browns or White Leghorns. Leghorns have the personality of A paranoid schizophrenic with an amphetamine habit, so you can't say I didn't warn you. I have two currently. Isa Browns lay almost as many eggs and are generally sweet birds but as I've seen and read multiple times they essentially will not defend themselves if your flock has A "Bully". So pick your tradeoff.

Leghorns lay very well and have x large white eggs
