Adding new chickens to your flock? Keep in mind that not all breeds of chicken are great egg layers.
A great egg layer can produce up to 300 eggs in the first year. Australorps, Leghorns, Rhode Island Reds, and Easter Eggers are examples of great egg layers. Bantams and Silkies, while popular, are not the best egg layers. They may only provide less than 100 eggs in the first year.
Many things can affect the rate of lay of your hens, including but not limited to breed, housing, weather, management, parasite load, and nutrition. Learn more: https://www.purinamills.com/chicken-feed/education/detail/guide-to-the-best-egg-laying-breeds

Many factors can affect egg production in your flock, like:
• Day length – 16 hours of day length is ideal for egg production
• Breed – not all breeds are good egg layers!
• Age – egg production decreases each year
• Feed – chickens need proper nutrition to maintain year-round production
• Water – even a few hours without water can affect egg production
• Temperature – extreme weather will affect egg production, and certain breeds handle heat or cold better than others
• Molt – molt can happen any time of year
• Illness & Parasites
• Stress
Egg production is like the stock market. If any of the above factors occur, egg production can grind to a halt within days. It will then be a few weeks before production returns, as things do not change overnight. It takes 10 days for an egg yolk to form on the ovary and then another day for it to be released and become an egg.
