How much should my chickens lay?

[Chick_a_dee]

I've posted so much here aha, but we're getting 15 Rhode Island Red X Columbian Rock chicks in July, and I was wondering first of all, if any of you had that particular cross, second, how often do they lay? how many eggs can I expect a week kind of thing, and third... What's your experience with their egg size, how big can I expect the eggs to be?

I don't have that cross - I do have RIR and I think you can expect at least 6 eggs a week from each hen!

That's a lot of eggs! Haha, we have 15 coming, and once they start laying.. well let's just say on average my family eats 36 eggs a month/month and a half, because we ration them. I guess we'll be selling to our neighbors!
