I have been doing meet to dual purpose birds for quite a while now.
Now I was thinking about moving on to the egg laying side.
Normally I would start looking at leghorns but according to this website there easter egg chicken lays just as much or more than the leghorns.
Now i know what you are thinking.
Some person new to chickens asking silly questions 
Well you might not be far off lol Anyway i must still ask.
These are the links to the data i got
Leghorns
http://www.cacklehatchery.com/whtleghornpage.html
They said 220.33 eggs per year.
Easter eggers
http://www.cacklehatchery.com/araucana.html
They said they would lay 250-300 eggs per year.
Now how much do you think is true. Due any of you guys own easter eggers?
Also what other breeds are good for high egg production
Thanks
