The Rhode Island Red is considered one of the best brown egg layers.

Under ideal conditions this breed will lay 6 to 7 eggs per week. Production will drop when the bird id in moult but resume soon afterwards.

Whats the best Laying hens for all year?

Rhode Island Reds (in my opinion) lay the best eggs. If you like brown eggs then a few Rhode Island Reds are the best way to go. If you want a smaller egg get a few Bantans. Their bodies and eggs are smaller. The egg shells may be blue or green and the eggs are about half the size of a regular egg. They taste about the same.

What are some types of hens that lay large or many eggs?

Leghorns! They lay an avg. of 300 per yr. They lay very large eggs for their little bodies which require less feed than other "good layer" breeds. Rhode Island Reds are very popular because of their dual purpose. When eggs production wanes, they can be eaten. They lay an avg. of 200 per yr. Orbington Buffs are comparable to RIR. Barred Rocks are also excellent egg laying chickens. Red Sex Links (also known as Red Stars) lay up to 280 eggs per yr. There are a couple of others that I am not as familiar with but everything I have read (and experienced) rate Leghorns as the best. These are the white chickens that are used for commercial egg production. Free range/ organic white eggs are just as nutritious as free range/organic brown eggs. Brown eggs simply have more pigment making them appear "richer". Commercial white eggs are not as nutritious, hence some of the confusion
