Laying rate of bantam hens?

[LunaMarieWolf]

I recently got some bantam hens from my uncle who had to sell his flock.

I got these hens: silver sebright, splash silkie, and an easter egger.

I was wanting to know the possible laying rates of these girls, but in roughly eggs per day, not eggs per year.

I've never had Silkies, but when I had a Sebright hen, she layed 3-4 eggs a week throughout the spring/summer, and then didn't lay most of winter. My Easter Egger bantys are better layers, with 5-6 eggs per week. They also tend to keep laying through the winter better then my other bantys.

my silkies would typically lay 3-5 eggs per week.

Well, they can only one a day

My sebright was a champ at 5 days a week. However now I think the cold has gotten to her, so nothing in a week now.

My Belgian d'uccles and EE bantams do pretty well, but do take time out for molting, and sometimes for raising chicks. Right now it's about molting, but things will be better in a month or so.
