The dutch bantam lays more than an average large fowl. (At 270 a year plus.) But is still one of the smallest. The Rhode Island red bantam is large, so should lay large eggs.

What chickens ar right for me?
It depends what your looking for and what is available in your location. If your looking for an affectionate breed that is good with children and makes a great pet i would suggest either a handtamed Silkie Bantam, Wyandotte Bantam, Modern Game Bantam, Old English Game Bantam or Japanese Bantam. If your looking for a chicken breed to set as broody hens (to sit on eggs and get chicks) Silkie Bantams, Wyandottes and even Rhode Island Reds may be suitable (Defiantely the Silkie's though). If you are looking for a chicken to lay eggs i'd recommend the average layer hens (also known as ISA Reds/ISA Browns who are bred not to go broody so you will never get chicks and will have a continous supply of eggs), Australorps and maybe even Orpingtons.
How long do bantams lay for?
You have used Bantam as if it were a specific breed of hen. Bantams are just smaller versions of a standard breed. Almost every breed of chicken is available in standard (large) or Bantam (small). On average a chicken will start to lay eggs at about 7 months old. Some breeds earlier, while other breeds mature later. The peak laying happens for about 18 months and then begins to drop. Most hens stop laying eggs at about 3 years old. See "related links" for breed descriptions and rate of lay.
