1 Layer/Egg Breeds This presentation is sponsored by the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program

3 These are birds that usually grow slower than breeds for meat and reach a lower body weight, but are great at laying eggs ( a year!)
4 Individual farmers have their preferences about the color of the eggs, the breed choices and the housing system that they want
5 The color of the shell has no effect on the nutritional content or taste of the egg The differences in color, comes from the nutrition that the hens received Consumers often assume that brown eggs are more natural or healthier Brown eggs can fetch a higher price Pastured or free-ranged eggs can have a lower amount of cholesterol, but the difference is really not significant for one s health
6 A hen is called broody when she wants to sit on the eggs and hatch them (also called maternal instinct) A hen lays only one egg every day or two, but she doesn t start naturally incubating until the whole clutch is laid This way, all the chicks will hatch at the same time Some breeds tend to show more broodiness than others, this is a sign of which hen will take care of the eggs, while others will not If you plan on selling eggs, it might be good to not have hens with high broodiness as they tend to lay less eggs and want to sit on, and incubate the eggs they lay Breeds like Leghorns and Minorcas don t get broody, so make sure you ve got an incubator to raise chicks if that s the end goal
7 Hens will usually be kept for a couple of years, so you need to consider the weather in your area If you have cold winters, you may choose a heavier bodied, well feathered bird, if you have hot and humid summers then you should choose smaller birds If you want to breed and raise your own replacements, then you probably want a broody breed that will sit on the eggs and hatch them, but if you only want the eggs then you don t want a broody breed
8 There is no real difference in the nutritional content of eggs of different colors (white, brown or even blue/green eggshells) The color of the shell is given by the breed of the hen, but the contents MAY depend on the diet of the hens Most people have an idea and a preference, so educate but don t argue, find out what kind of eggs your clients like and make sure to get hens that lay that color of egg
9 If there is a lot of interest for heritage breeds in your area, then that is probably the best way to go, but if your main concern is egg production then you would be better with a modern hybrid breed Heritage breeds Golden Campine hen Delaware (Indian River) Wheaten Old English Game Hen

11 EGG LAYER BREEDS Ameraucana Ancona Australorp Hamburg Houdan Leghorn Minorca Polish Sex Links
12 Early 1970 s these began to be developed from the Araucana imports from Chile Considered the Newest American Breed
13 Varieties: Color type Blue, Blue Wheaton Black, Silver White, Buff Brown Red, Wheaton Comb type Pea comb
14 Skin color: Varies with color variety Egg Shell color: Green to blue eggs Size: Roosters Hens pounds pounds
15 Commercial use Used primarily for egg production with some lines heavily selected for egg production Some people call them Easter egg chickens or Easter eggers because they lay blue eggs Some say that the cholesterol of the eggs is less than normal eggs of other breeds. This has not been proven and it is more likely dependent on the diet Characteristics Good general farm chicken Some lines will exhibit broodiness Good at foraging
16 First imported into the US in the 1930 s Mapuche Indian tribe in South America developed these from Collonca and Queteros breeds Collonca clean faced, rumpless, blue egg laying fowl Queteros ear tufts, tailed, lays a pinkish brown egg
17 Different from the Ameraucana The ear tuft gene carries a lethal gene which causes embryo mortality Blue egg trait is dominant so these birds have been cross bred with a number of American breeds to increase hatchability and are called Ameraucana s
18 Do better in open production systems Poor at foraging for feed Breeding can be a problem because of the lethal gene (associated with the ear tufts) that kills ~25% of chicks prior to hatch
19 Originated in the city of Ancona, Italy Original bloodlines from other Italian breeds and Leghorn type fowl Came to the United States in the late 1800 s
20 Varieties: Color: Black mottled Red mottled Comb type: Single Rose

22 Commercial use: Excellent egg producers Good mix of visual appeal and production Very leghorn like Characteristics: Can be flighty and high energy birds Great at foraging Rarely go broody
23 Developed in Australia primarily for egg production Foundation bloodline is only the Black Orpington. Basically, it is an Australian bred Orpington selected for egg production and not meat Smaller than the Orpington as a result of selection for egg production
24 Skin color: White Egg shell color: Light brown Size: Roosters Hens pounds pounds
25 Commercial use: Medium weight, active bird which lays a tinted egg Good egg producing bird that does not sacrifice too much meat quality Popular egg producing bird for backyard flocks Calm friendly birds

30 Old French breed imported into England in the mid 1800 s Foundation breeds include the Dorking, Crevecoeur, and possibly Polish Possesses a fifth toe on each foot
31 Comb type: V shaped Skin color: White Egg shell color: White Size: Roosters Hens 7 8 pounds pounds
32 Commercial use: A general purpose non-sitting fowl originally bred for both meat and egg production Not a good yard bird, due to visual impairment and predation Characteristics: Gentle and friendly bird Good foragers
33 Original breed came from Italy in the mid 1800 s Other varieties developed in England, Denmark, and America Production stock and show stock have very different characteristics
34 Varieties: Color: White, Black Buff, Red Silver, Columbian, Duckwing Light Brown, Dark Brown Comb types: Single Rose

39 Skin color: White Egg shell color: Chalk white Size: Roosters Hens pounds pounds
40 Commercial use: Excellent producer of large white eggs Unique blend of large lean frame and egg production May not be as good in cold climates Characteristics: Somewhat flighty and full of energy Forage well
