Layer chickens are a breed of poultry specifically raised for egg production. These birds are known for their high egg yield and are typically kept in commercial egg-laying operations. Layer chickens are usually bred to have a strong feed-to-egg conversion ratio, which makes them efficient producers in terms of both feed consumption and egg output.
| Average egg production | 250 to 300 eggs per year |
| Weight range | 1.5 to 2.5 kg |
| Egg size | Medium to large |
| Feed conversion ratio | 2 to 3 kg of feed per kg of eggs |
| Lifespan | 18 months to 2 years for optimal production |
When choosing layer chickens, consider the breed, as different breeds have varying egg production capabilities and feed requirements. Specify the quantity you need, as well as any preferences for organic or free-range options. Additionally, inquire about the age of the chickens and their health certifications to ensure you are purchasing healthy stock.
