Officially-Who are the best layers?

Heres a thought for you. EE eggs are indeed colorful, but are best kept for your own use.
Should 'going pro' mean selling eggs, you will likely be tested to sell very many EE eggs. Around here I can't give them away - but I have to nearly beat off people when I tell them I have 'brown eggs.'

Although, in Californiweird, anything is possible.

Although I'm a 7th-generation Californian, I am doing my best to get out of this state. So more likely this will be happening in OR or WA. Right now I satisfy my chicken bug with my girls, a BR, GLW, and a Light Sussex. Oh and my royal palm/narraganset turkey. She just went broody though, so I'm gonna try to get her a boyfriend... we can't have 'crowing' roosters, so I figure a gobbling tom is okay.

I have barred rocks and they are wonderful birds. Good layers and very sweet ladies.

I have Isa Browns. I have 3 that were 30 weeks old Jan1 and have only missed one egg so far this year. All their eggs now are Jumbos or 30 oz. a doz. I also have 13 that are 27 weeks old tomarrow and most days get 13 eggs. Their eggs are 29 oz. a doz which are extra large.

Hrm... I know someone who sells green & blue eggs exclusively at local farmers markets. His operation is not a small one. He's getting ready to expand his EE flock in case his wife loses her job and they need to rely on the green egg proceeds.

I have 4 hens at the moment, I get 4 eggs a day 6 days in a row then on the 7th I will get 3 eggs

So 3/4 lay an egg everyday!

If I put out a carton of green eggs and one of brown, the green will sell first. Usually I just mix them all up.

None of my EEs have an egg eating problem. Now Cleopatra EE is notable for knowing she is a bird and can FLY. She goes right over a six foot fence. I don't clip her wings, she just free ranges and flies back in to get to the henhouse to lay her eggs.
