Layers or Hens.
They are from CHICKENS OR HENS because an egg can not produce another egg. (They are hens not chickens.)
If you are asking what some of the different breeds of chickens are out there, some egg layers are Rhode Island Reds, Isa Browns, Barred Rocks, Arucanas, among others. Some are meat and egg chickens. Guineas also lay eggs and you can eat them as well.
