How many chickens do you have? Laying and non laying.

 

I've got eight ladies. 3 buff orpingtons, 2 bard rocks, 2 Rhode island reds, and a Easter egger.  I'm averaging 7 eggs a day.  Give my extras to friend and family.

That's very nice to help the people around you. That's what everyone should be doing. Coming together socially distant and helping those who need it especially old people.

I made more money when I had the button quails . Their eggs were delicious.  And I got 9.00 a dozen for eating  eggs and 25 .00 a dozen for fertile eggs

Need to get some peacocks. Those are the biggest fluffiest eggs I've ever eaten in my life!

My wife and kids want to raise Chickens which means I will end up raising chickens. So far I have said no but perhaps in a few more years when I can count on the kids a little more it might be a possibility

I love it if I had my own land  I would have more . There is a house right up the street with 3 acres going for 210,000 sure wish I could get it . But with the way things are going  i doubt it

I only live on 1.25 acres so I wouldn't have that many and I wouldn't want that many anyways I would only want enough to keep my family stocked with eggs and give the extras away. Even getting 6-7 eggs a day would be a lot for us.

It's just my wife and I, so we definitely have a surplus during the spring, summer. 

During the winter, they definitely slow down with the rent payments.

My Old Fat Father always told me that a FEATHER DUSTER would lay eggs in the spring....
