As a boy I raised chickens , and then again when I had children running around. Now that I'm a Grampa, it's chicken time again! So I guess you might say I'm new to this; for the third time. So much to learn about raising chickens in this new technological era. Do hens lay more eggs with wifi in the coop?

one fat pony, and many (but not too many!) chickens

Can anyone tell me, how many are too many chickens?

Studies have proven that wifi and wide screen TV in the coops have boosted egg production and growth rates in chickens.

Thanks for the warm welcome. One of my earliest childhood memory's was helping my grandfather in his chicken coop. Chickens help bring the generations together.
