Hi

Hybrids are the best egg layers!  These Amberlinks I've got they reckon an lay up to 350 eggs a year, but there is another one that the reckon lays up to 360, but ours are on their first laying year so don't know if its true!!!

Does it have to be hens? Hens lay ok of course but if you want the best its got to be Khaki Campbell ducks

but yeah it has to be hens lol me mum wants fresh eggs

but i dont want plain white hens i like a bit of color

I have had 3 hens for almost a year, and they are still each laying 1 a day even in January. They are a bovan's nera Black Star, a meadowsweet ranger and a buttercup. They are all beautiful, live well together and are easy to tell apart!! Year end egg figures for 2007 (hens bought POL Feb '07) were 720!

thanks for the replies what about bantams they any good for eggs ??

[Jellyhead]

My Pekin and Wyandotte banties lay lovely eggs, small but perfrectly formed

[naturesparadise]

how big are the eggs  

[slowef]

Rocks name is Roxy :roll:  how original :oops:

[Jellyhead]

Nothing wrong with original Slowef
As for egg size, small but quite big yolks. Would use 3 instead of 2 sometimes. They are still yummy tho
