3. 3. Which breed of chickens are the
best at laying eggs?
There are many chicken varieties, and all lay eggs,
but only a handful are in the best egg-laying chicken
breeds category. All female chickens will lay edible
eggs with identical nutritional content, but some bird
varieties have been bred especially for their egg-
laying capabilities and thus are superior laying
chickens. For example, Leghorn hens are excellent
for consistent, nearly-daily laying and produce about
300 eggs per year.
