How many to expect

[FastChicken10]

I am building a coop for about 4-5 Rhode Island Reds. I am wondering how many eggs i will be getting out of it.

With Rhode Island Reds you can count on an egg a day from each bird, Thats if they are feed and watered properly and a clean coop.

They are great layers but not a machine layer like a white leghorn. I would expect the first year an egg most days but they will have breaks and molt like all breeds. It is not uncommon for hens to stop laying through winter.
