Lohmann Brown

The Lohmann Brown is an egg-laying chicken. It is of hybrid origin and selectively bred. They lay at about 18 weeks, laying about 1 egg per day and laying up to 300 brown eggs a year. Eggs are laid daily, normally dawn or dusk. They are a very inquisitive breed of chicken. They will eat almost anything like any other. Most people buy them as pullets or POL (point of lay), which is when you buy chickens just before they start laying. They are the most common type of hen used for commercial egg production laying farms in Europe.

Most Lohmann browns have a caramel/brown shade of feathers, with white feathers in a pattern round their necks, and white feathers at the tips of their tail feathers. They are very friendly, and are good chickens to keep as pets for children.
