Ranking breeds by egg production

I bet this video is on the site somewhere, but I just found it. REALLY interesting.... shows pix hundreds of breeds and their egg color, sorted by productivity. I do't have chicken yet, but when I am ready to get them, I'll come back to this vid to help choose the ones I want.

Remember that the higher the egg production the shorter the life span of the bird and the more likely to have reproductive problems. High production breeds were never intended to live past their first adult molt at around 18 months old.
