Our counselor suggested that we should not give our kids breakfast with sugar in it well the only thing I can come up with that they like is EGGS!!! So 5 days a weeks we started eating eggs, 5-8eggs a day, so 25-40 eggs a week. Well I decided i NEED chickens then to supply oraganic fresh eggs! We bought 3 hens to start getting eggs right away. Well so far we get 2 eggs a day consistently. Not enough! Sooooo one week later we got 5 chicks (different color egg layers lol). Well now we are in search of the 2 colors of egg layers we don't have yet (olive & chocolate) and because I'm super impatient I want 4month old hens. Omgosh soon we will have 10 chickens and I've only had chickens for 1 month. Starting construction on a 4x10 coop and a 20x20 run, Ive lost my mind lol. Seeing other posts on this subject make me feel much better though!
