Understanding the Lohman Brown

A lot of people have been asking for info about Lohmann Brown layer chicken. Here is a brief.

The Lohmann Brown is a variety of chicken, raised specifically for egg-laying productivity. It is of crossbreed origin, selectively bred from New Hampshires and other brown-egg-laying breeds. They lay at about 18 weeks, producing up to 300 eggs per year. Eggs are laid nearly daily, normally at dawn or dusk.

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.

How long do Lohmann Brown chickens live?

The chicken has a friendly temperament and is also highly adaptable. It is known for its large and brown eggs and has excellent laying rate of more than 300 eggs per year. The Lohmann Browns also have a long life expectancy of up to 10 years.

The Lohmann Browns, like the Lohmann Silvers, were developed in Germany.
