Our hatchery Buckeyes don't lay large eggs, they simply do not. Can't speak to the SOP birds. Only from what I hear, they might lay larger eggs but less often...again only based on hearsay.
I'm focusing in improving egg production in my flock, it has been done by others with SOP birds, I think it will take me quite a long time- it's a bucket list project! I'm a bit surprised though that the hatchery Buckeyes don't lay eggs like crazy- from what I've learned from others, egg laying at least is usually a strength in the hatchery bred breeds. Strange!
