Hi all! I live in Pearl River, LA. Like some of you, friends and family think I'm crazy for getting chickens, that is until they come over and watch chicken TV for a bit, and leave with a dozen fresh eggs! HA!

I do give them oyster shells and yougert and I've seen her woof down small tree frogs etc. (after a great game of keep-a-way) They free range over an acre of land almost every day. She seems to be quite a producer. Since her first egg she has given me at least one egg every day without fail...

I am fairly new to rasing chickens and my girls started laying a little over a month ago. I have a question, how many of you have chickens who lay more than one egg a day? One of my three girls has given me two eggs in a day several times. Am I lucky or is this common?

Thank you for the welcome Frampton. Glad this forum is here, it's very enjoyable and informative for us newbies! My girl "Big Mamma" is singing her egg song as I post! Gotta love it! lol

I got my chickens back in March. I was at the post office when I heard "cheeps" coming from the back. After inquiring I was told they were on their way to the local feed store. I followed the postman....Came home and announced to my husband I had baby chickens in the car. Thank goodness he...
