Healthy Rhode Island Reds can lay up to 5-6 eggs per week, or 20-24 per month, so let's say 22 eggs per month. You have 300 hens. In general you would expect 6600 eggs per month. However you also have to consider the weather, the age of the birds, moulting, and other stressors that would reduce the egg count for the month. Maximum egg production would be in the spring and fall, with less eggs laid in the winter and summer months.

There have been concerns that the Rhode Island Red, originating from Rhode Island, is an inbred strain and hence may have genetic issues.

Brown eggs come from hens that are mostly brown such as Plymouth Rock and Rhode Island. White eggs come from white hens such as the white Leghorn.Another viewFeather colour is not actually a good indicator of the colour egg the hen will lay. Breed of hen will determine the colour of the egg shell. Black Cochin hens lay brown eggs, white Ameraucana hens will lay green shelled eggs. It is believed the colour of the feathers near the ears of a hen is an indicator but that too is not always reliable.
