I'm wanting to add some new hens to our flock next Spring. I'm wanting large or extra large eggs as frequently as naturally possible. Any suggestions on breeds? Thanks!!!!
 
I have a white leghorn that lays super huge eggs every single day and she is over a year old! I got her from my uncle. I also got a speckled, and 3 Americanas. They are all the same age and the others lay sporadically at best. The speckled seems to lay every other day or so, but her eggs are more medium size.

I have 5 more that are just starting to lay. A buckeye, Cochins and a welsummer. So far they are just laying small starter eggs so I couldn't tell you more about their regular size.
 
My hatchery Barred Rock lays the largest egg in my flock and she's 3 1/2 years old and still cranking them out 5 days a week. Other great choices for jumbo eggs would be sex links and Leghorns.
