For you chicken farmers out there that have experience in this matter, what you do feel is the best egg laying chicken?
Types of chickens I have:
Barred rock
Rhode island red
Australorp
Black jersey giants
Wyandotte
After doing some reading, it seems that some people say the Rhode Island Red is the top egg producer, while others say the Australorp is the best egg laying chicken. Other people say the Barred rock is the best all around chicken.
I live in southeast Texas, and it does not get "that" cold around here. If the temps get into the 20s, we are getting a hard freeze.
In contrast to the winters, we have hot summers. Sometimes the nighttime temps do not get out the lower 90s.
For those of you that have experience with chickens, what kind do you have and what does your egg production look like?
