250 in a good year. I wouldn't expect that, but good feed and happy chickens does a good wonders. I feed a liquid fat induced ration which normally isn't cost effective, especially when u don't sell eggs or many birds. 200 is prolly more the ball park for general free range.

I may make an order with West coast Jersey giants. Anyone ever buy from those guys? Plenty steep on price and the half down thing seems weird to me. Dunno maybe it's just me. I want big birds.

I would have eggs but I just have a hard time grabbing before they get to cold for my liking.

bigzio. I've encountered that there seems to be a wide space of time difference of when hens will start laying. I've tried to piece together how the time of year affects them but I do everything to counter that and it still seems unexplainable to me. I've had hens start at laying at 6 months...
