Brown Egg Layers

These brown egg laying chickens are proven producers for backyard flocks and working farms alike. Our best brown egg layer is the Isa Brown, a hybrid bred for very high production of large to extra large eggs with strong shells. The Amberlink comes from the same family and is a great forager. The Black Sex Link, a cross of the Barred Rock and Rhode Island Red, pairs excellent laying with a large frame.

Prefer a classic? Barred Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, Buff Orpingtons and Black Australorps are old farm favorites that lay well and carry good size. Black Jersey Giants grow very large and lay large brown eggs. For something different, look at the laced feathers of the Golden and Silver Laced Wyandotte, the feathered feet of the Light Brahma, the blue feathering of the Plymouth Blue Rock, or the dark chocolate eggs of the Mystic Maran.

Every brown egg layer ships with our live arrival guarantee.
