I am planning my first small flock and getting pretty excited. My question is, if I start with 3-6 hens as egglayers and family pets, how often do you think I will need to add to the flock as they age/die? What is your experience over time. Do you add to the flock and keep for life, or sell off as they age?
I am not going into this adventure for meat, just eggs and for the fun of having chickens, but would like a couple dozen eggs per week on average.
Thanks for all your help and advice!
