Introduction to Several Chicken Breeds with the Highest Egg Production Rates

We all know that the main nutrient in eggs is protein, and usually eating one egg a day has a great health-preserving effect on the human body, so eggs are used very much in our daily lives. But now many eggs on the market are not as nutritious as before, and the reason is that the annual production of eggs is not high, so some people use incorrect methods to increase the egg production rate of laying hens, resulting in a loss of nutrients in eggs. So today let us, together with Qinnong Net, take a look at several breeds of laying hens with high egg production rates.

1. Partridge Chicken

The Partridge Chicken is one of the more common breeds among native chickens today, and it is also a type of native chicken with a relatively high egg production rate. We have all bought groceries, so we all know that the price of native eggs on the market is at least one or two times more expensive than ordinary eggs. Therefore, the Partridge Chicken has made a great contribution to egg production among native chickens. However, the level of the egg production rate is mainly related to the raising method. We can increase the production rate and extend the laying period by adjusting the flock, increasing nutrition, and increasing light. Generally, at seventy-two weeks of age it can lay about 255 eggs, so it is still quite good.

2. White Shell Laying Chicken

The White Shell Laying Chicken is actually a new type of laying chicken breed developed from the White Leghorn chicken after crossbreeding. The main reason is that the White Leghorn chicken itself has a relatively high egg production rate, so one reason the White Shell Laying Chicken has a high egg production rate is its better genetic inheritance. The second reason is that the White Shell Laying Chicken is a breed specially cultivated by the relevant national research departments for egg production, so this is another reason for its high egg production rate. Usually, a hen at seventy-two weeks of age can generally lay about 288 eggs, so it is a very successful breed of laying chicken.

3. White Leghorn Chicken

The White Leghorn Chicken comes from Italy. The main reasons are its relatively high survival rate and that it is easier to raise. The second reason is that its egg production rate is relatively high. Although its body size is very small, many people are still willing to raise it, so most people raise it as a main breed for egg production. Its advantages are that its growth period is relatively short, its feed consumption is also very low, and it can begin laying eggs at around one hundred and forty days. Its average annual egg production is as high as about three hundred eggs, so it is a very suitable breed of laying chicken to raise.

4. Pink Shell Laying Chicken

The Pink Shell Laying Chicken is a new breed of laying chicken that has emerged in recent years. It is a new type bred by a company in Israel. Its eggshell is obviously different from other eggs. Its eggshell is light pink and looks very attractive. The second point is that it generally begins laying eggs at around one hundred and fifty days, and its annual egg production is as high as more than three hundred and thirty eggs. It is currently the breed with the highest egg production rate among laying chicken types.
