Oh that's a great idea! maybe i should do dual purpose chickens aswell for meat and eggs! Do you have any recommendations? glad i found this forum! lots of knowledgeable folks here!Were you planning to have chickens as a source of meat too? If so, you might want to look at other breeds than Leghorns. Yes, they lay a lot of eggs, but they're not a meaty bird. You might want to consider some dual purpose (DP) breeds as well.
Good for you, for asking a bunch of questions BEFORE you get chickens. 30-40 birds is a big commitment, so take some time, read up on various chicken topics, and yes, ask questions here on BYC. The pool of knowledge here is wide and deep.
And,
Thanks for the reply! i appreciate it!
