The larger the comb, the better the layer?

That's what the research says...read about it on Chicken Women.

Not saying your wrong. But they change. Yes, when they get bigger & real red those are normally the ones laying.

My EE has a very small comb and she lays very big eggs. Her eggs don't fit in the large egg carton. They are the largest eggs of the flock.

Here is another egg from a different hen for hand comparison

Simply a matter of genetics. This lovely hen is a top notch egg producer. She's cranking a large brown egg out nearly every day.





This is a hardworking hen, too





This one, however, is not in production.





This one does not lay eggs at all.

Size and color of comb and wattles does indicate the health of the bird.
