What breed of yours lays the most eggs?

[rosyposyosy]

Out of my EE, a Marans/BR, and my banty cochin, my banty cochin Fajita takes the cake. She lays every single day. I got the 3 breeds for a variety of eggs, but my egg cartons just look like small cream colored eggs, with the occasional blue or brown egg.

So, which breed of yours lays the most eggs? Be sure to mention what other breeds you have.

We are down to EE and Silky hens at this time. Our EE girls are pretty much every day layers, they seem to take turns taking a day off.

My Silky girls, on the other hand, have me mumbling explatives under my breath...

Out of the 3 of them, only Sta Puff lays regularly for me. Her sisters, the Blue Witches are constantly taking turns going broody and being broke of their broody.

Not many eggs being produced there unfortunately.

My RIRs lay the best at 6 or 7 a week.

My Salmon Faverolles and Speckled Sussex lay the next most at 4 - 5 a week... maybe they'll start to laying even more when we start having longer days, though.

My Silkies lay well when they lay, but they tend to only lay a few weeks before they go broody.

My Ameraucanas definitely aren't winter layers! (They're still my favorites, though.

)

I bought 10 hens of each: RIR, White Rock and Yellow Buff Rocks. I believe my Reds are the best layers so far but a very close 2nd would be the whites. And actually I can only give the Reds the edge because they started laying a bit earlier. They are all laying right now with the exception of the buffs. There are only 5 of 10 laying at 31 weeks. Only advantage that I see with the buffs is the eggs are a bit bigger in size when you get one.

My leghorns lay almost every day, so do the campines, when all others all but quit, I got 3or 4 white eggs a day from 4 hens that lay white eggs. Not sure how effeciant the others have been, but since havent got 25 eggsout of 25 hens yet.

My Red Stars have been pretty consistent with their laying...We've not had to buy eggs in over a year since i got them.

I love their brown eggs...EEs are good too!
