Yes, different breeds lay slightly different numbers and there were extensive laying trials in the 1950's or thereabouts. The modern hybrids are the most prolific though, I believe. Some breeds are better than others at laying over winter as well, but obviously therefore run out of eggs all the sooner.
Sorry to be vague: I can't remember the breeds in either case, as I read about it many years ago now, but try looking up "laying trials".
