Which breeds have you had good egg production from?

[LittleRedCoopLady]

Hello! So, I LOVE the friendliness and high egg production #'s coming from my Golden Comets (6-7 per week), however I don't like the reproductive issues that have started happening (egg bound, etc....) So, I'm needing some advice as to which chickens you've had the best egg output from..... I'll be adding close to 20 hens with the sole purpose of selling eggs and want breeds that can give me 5-6-7 eggs per week and is not a production hybrid. Any breeds you've had luck with??? Thanks!

Leghorns, Easter Eggers, and Welsummers have been my best producers.

White Leghorn

Thank you for your reply! Did you find that the Leghorns are skittish, unfriendly, etc...???
How many eggs are you getting per week? Thanks!

Nope! Not if socialized right.

I have Ancona and Minorca, the white Leghorns lay way better than them

I know. That’s why I put Leghorns on the top of the list.
