how many eggs?

[wj77]

I am thinking of getting a few buff orph's and was wondering how many eggs each would lay in a week during the summer. I understand that each chicken is different, I'm looking for a ball park figure.Thank you in advance.

MAYBE 5ish.

We have fifteen BOs. They will be fifteen months old tomorrow. We have been getting an average of about seven eggs per day for the past couple months. I finally put up a calendar this morning to track the number of eggs per day. So, three-or-four seems to be the average per bird per week. Of course, I live way up north in Wisconsin, and the temps have been a bit cool this summer, so your mileage may vary.

[EDIT] -- After hitting the submit button, I see you are in Duluth. I'm two hours east, and half-an-hour south.

Thanks for the info. I think I will I get 3 or 4 that should be more then enough eggs for the wife and I.

So far, my 1 BO pullet is laying about 6 a week. She's young and has only been laying for a few weeks, so I don't know if it will continue at that level.
