They are known for, "persistence of lay," and they have been for the past few years. Usually 15 or so large brown eggs a day. But they've dropped off dramatically in the past week. Since its only Aug, its pretty weird.

I've also had Golden Comets before that were good, and Ameraucana are also good (and you get blue eggs).
