Good question.

That depends entirely on how many eggs a week you need. It also depends on what kind of chicken{s) you have. For instance,

• 2 hens will average about 8-12 eggs a week
• 4 hens will average about 16-24 a week
• and 6 hens will average about 24 to 36 a week.

That brings us to the question: Which are the best egg producing hens.

• Golden Coment is a high producing brown egg hybrid
• White Leghorn is an excellent white egg layer
• Rhode Island Red is a reliable brown egg producer, and
• Barred Plymoth Rock is a reliable producer as well.
