I am considering starting fresh this coming year with a batch of chicks for egg laying. I would like to get some opinions on what the "ideal" laying flock of hens would consist of. I am most interested in good layers but also would like some colored eggs as well. Does not have to be all top production breeds. between 3 houses we eat around 2 dozen eggs a week(give or take a few eggs). And lastly, I think 10 hens would be the right number for my coop.
So what hens would you choose to create your 'ideal' laying flock?
Thanks for the help =)
