New Hampshire hens typically begin laying between 5-6 months of age. Under good management, they produce around 200-280 large brown eggs annually, with many laying consistently through winter when given proper lighting and care. In heritage lines, a steady 200-220 eggs per year is common, while some high-performing lines may reach up to 280 eggs. After their first few years, productivity may decline as hens age.
