Versatile Brown Egg Laying Hens

What makes chickens that lay brown eggs so special? Brown egg layers are typically docile, hardy, and perfect for a backyard chicken keeper. While not all breeds produce as many eggs as the Red Sex Link, our full selection of layers produce enough eggs to keep most backyard hobbyists stocked with eggs throughout the year. 

We offer 12 varieties of brown egg laying hens. Depending on the breed and local climate conditions, you can expect your brown egg layers to produce anywhere from 200-320 eggs per year. Rhode Island Red and Buff Orpington are popular backyard breeds known for consistently producing large brown eggs. True to its name, the Jersey Black Giant produces some of the largest brown eggs among all breeds due to its larger body frame. 

To ensure a safe shipment, there is a minimum order quantity for brown egg layer chicks. There is no minimum for pickup.  Reach out today with any questions about the best brown egg laying chickens. We're here to help.
