Just curious, What is a good egg producing breed?

[mikey569]

New to this, we bought some dark cornish. Some say they are good egg layers, some say they aren't. I guess time will tell. I am curious what is your opinion on the best egg producers. Thanks for your advice in advance.

I like my red stars, (red sex link) I have white leghorn, rhode island red and Red Stars. I am working my flock around to 100% Red Stars. Friendly, docile chicken that lays large brown eggs and good numbers. my 25 lay approx 20-25 a day.

The best? ISA Browns, Leghorns.

A close second? Red and Black Sexlinks. (Depending on strain.)

If you're looking for "heritage" breeds? Black Australorps, Rhode Island Reds, New Hampshires.

My barred rocks lay an egg practically every day.

I have mutts. I think they are red sex-links from the pictures I've seen online, and they are whoppers when it comes to egg production!! I agree with Stuby05, they're very friendly too
