Guide to the Best Egg Laying Breeds
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

Purina® Egg Production Affected by Age
We love chickens of all ages, shapes, and sizes, but did you know that your flock’s egg production decreases each year as they age?
The first year that birds lay eggs will be the most eggs you get from those birds. Hens will be at peak egg production at about 30 weeks of age.
Years 1 & 2 will be productive egg-laying years. When a hen approaches 3 years, she will begin to lay fewer eggs. In years 4-6, egg production will drop off. Between years 6 and 8, most hens will stop laying eggs.
A hen can continue to be a valued member of your flock as she ages and slows or stops producing eggs. Retired hens provide great companionship and often become leaders in their flocks, showing younger birds the ropes.
Keep in mind that age is not the only thing that affects egg production. Breed, housing, weather, management, parasite load, and nutrition can all affect your hens’ laying rate.
