trapperman 474 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 so witch are the best hen's for laying eggs ? if you just want them for eggs then a hybrid will do they lay more and eat less than a traditional breed. i had some black rock hybrids once which are a first cross and they were good layers and quite hardy to.
