Speckled Sussex for Winter Laying

[Chicken Man Can]

How good is this breed for egg laying in the winter? I am looking for a breed that is fairly consistent all year long (I know there is always a break). I had Austrawhites, Andalusian and a Australorp before and they did great in the winter, sadly they all died. I need something to replace them with.

Mine do not lay through the winter, few breeds are as it's not exactly natural.

X2 if you need breeds that lay through the winter I’d get more of the ones you’ve already had and know do work.

Oh yikes. The ones I had before stopped mid November, then started mid January. Unfortunate the Sussex don't do this.

I think brahma and faverolles are said to lay better in winter

You might look at Chanteclers as well.
