Characteristics and performance

Purpose: Primarily bred for high egg production.
Egg production: An individual hen can lay between 300 and 320 large, brown-shelled eggs per year, with some strains laying up to 345 in 14 months. Lohmann Brown hens typically begin laying at around 18 to 19 weeks of age.
Hardiness and health: They are robust, have a high survival rate, and can adapt well to different climates and housing systems, including free-range, aviary, and barn setups.
Temperament: The breed is known for its friendly, inquisitive, and docile nature, which makes them easy to handle and suitable for families with children. They are generally calm and not flighty.
Appearance: Most Lohmann Browns have a caramel or chestnut-brown feather color, often with white feathers around their neck and tail.
Lifespan: While they are prolific layers for their first couple of years, the typical lifespan of a Lohmann Brown can extend up to ten years. Egg production tends to decline after the peak laying period.
