Well, I would like to get the breed that lays the largest egg, does anyone have an opinion on that? What is the normal lifespan? Is it feasible to only have about 6 hens for eggs for my family of three? Has anyone ever raised quail in a bird cage in the house? My husband would never let me, just curious. If I were to raise them for meat also, I would need more I know, how difficult is it to process them? TIA - Jacky
