How many hens for a 4 person household?/Potential oversupply??
Oh wow, I didn't think Sebrights went broody often. I do have one, and I love her. It's so much to know and consider.

How many hens for a 4 person household?/Potential oversupply??
I'm very new to chickens, and I don't have much experience with how many eggs per week specific breeds lay, etc. My family goes through about 4 dozen eggs per week. I cook breakfast 7 days a week, plus whatever is used randomly for other recipes. There are 5 of us. None of my chickens lay yet as...- ChickenChick46
