I've heard that Golden Laced Wyandottes lay large brown eggs and are classified as good layers.

Here's a good chart to look at......

My Golden Laced Wyandotte is my best layer. I get at least 5 large eggs a week from her. She is our shyest gal, but friendly enough.

i chose barred rock, buff orpington, silver laced wyandotte, & black australorp. i'm very happy with the choice. calm, friendly, large brown eggs (no eggs yet - too young). these are also "heavy breeds" because i wanted birds that didn't fly that much.
