What would u recommend as the best White Egg Layer Breed?

[Iamaqte]

Hey everyone! I am looking at getting some more laying hens. Looking for some suggestions as to what is the best white egg layer breed. I want birds that lay lots of eggs year round. What do u suggest?

pearl-white leghorns

I think Leghorns are considered to be tops for white egg laying.

I am afraid of the combs being a frost bite issue so have avoided that breed.

Leghorns are the best but if you want a little color variety then I would suggest getting a couple Ancona's and Blue Andalusians.I have a couple and their eggs are as large as the leghorns and so far have been keeping up with them.

If you go on the Ideal Poultry website, click on standard breed, then click on white egg layers, you can get a picture of those hens and their history. I just bought some Danish Brown Leghorns. I'm from Texas, so it doesn't get that cold down here. Check out their other hens and maybe there's some good for cold climates. Good Luck.

We have white leg horns up here in Alaska without any problems. They are our best layers!
Just keep an eye on them when the temps dip below freezing.

I agree leghorns are best. If you put vaseline on comb in real cold weather it will help with frostbite issue.
