What are the best egg layers?

[KendallB0822]

Hi everyone!! I’m trying to figure out if I bought good layers or not, so I thought I’d ask you guys! I have 11 Rhode Island reds! 1 green-legged portridge (I believe), 1 Araucana, 1 austrolorp, and 1 what you guys believe to be a Cornish cross (but he was a mistake, the worker gave me the wrong one)

RIRs are good layers and Austrolorps. IDK about the other ones.

You have 12 very good layers. The RIR and Austrolorp.

To give you an idea, White Leghorns are one of the absolute best layers, coming in at around 280-320 per year. Austrolorps lay between 250-300 per year while Rhode Island Reds lay between 200-300 eggs a year. Partridges lay between 140-180 a year and Auracanas lay 150-180 per year. The Cornish Cross is gonna be your lowest laying chicken. Don't expect more than 160 a year from her. All in all, you have a very good egg laying flock!

I have a pen of 7 cornish that layed 5 eggs today.... The stats say that they lay small eggs. Is 3 7/8 ounces a small egg? Yes I have one that I should take a good picture of. Most all of the eggs from my cornish are at least large and a lot are jumbo. Mine are laying at a rate of about 160 eggs a year now. Once they are fertile they will be hatched.
