@poultrycare: A dual-purpose chicken breed may not be ideal for commercial egg production because they are bred for both meat and eggs, which limits their specialization in either area. Their overall egg production, both in terms of total eggs per bird and daily output, is typically lower compared to breeds specifically selected for high egg-laying performance. Additionally, due to their larger size, dual-purpose breeds consume more feed on a daily basis, which raises the cost of production. These birds also have a shorter period of peak egg production, meaning their most productive phase doesn’t last as long as that of commercial layers. Because of their size, they take up more space in the poultry house, which can limit the number of birds you can keep in the same area, ultimately reducing the efficiency of your operation. If you are interested in real commercial egg production, specialized hybrid layers such as Isa brown, Hyline brown/white, Lohmann Brown,
