Yeah. Think Leghorns but swap them with computers.

I have one Exchequer Leghorn, and she's five pounds, doesn't lay eggs 365 days a year, and pretty much matched the picture on the carton but not the description. Any idea as to what's wrong with her?

Really most leghorns outside of the whites and most browns don't exactly match what people think leghorns should be.
I try to breed towards good egg production but I've had plenty I've had to do so because they didn't lay crazy amounts in the beginning.
I have Exchequers and some were hatchery birds. IDK mine always have laid really decently. They do tend to not lay the biggest of eggs though.

Mine is a hatchery bird.

Personally I don't want her laying 365 days a year since she'll get worn out, but I've found it odd they describe her as being some egg machine when in fact she couldn't care less.

Oh, and her eggs are small. Not the extra large it claimed on the tin.
