When I started with 4 pullets, we ate what we could and gave the rest to friends and family. 6 years later I have many more chickens, with a wide variety of colored eggs. I get 10-12 dozen/ week during the heavy laying months. The same people that I used to give them to were more than happy to buy them for $3/dozen. They sell faster than I can collect them. I'm not making any money, but it helps pay for the feed
