You have a lot of time to research and plan. Good luck and have fun...

:welcome :frow I agree as I have stated in previous posts. It appears the OP doesn't currently have any birds and not sure of what they want, so maybe a few birds to get started. If they have never had a flock maybe it's better to take it slow and easy to see if it's something they want to do.

There are going to be times when you may get a dozen eggs with 18 birds and other times you may not. Currently I'm getting around 1 dozen a day more or less from around 100 birds but most of them are molting and when they molt they stop or slow way down laying. I have another around 150 pullets...

It took a lot of years. I sell a lot of eggs. Right now I have more customers than eggs. I sure hope the pullets get going. When I start getting over loaded with eggs, I take them to the swaps and sell them. The older birds are going through their yearly molt so the egg count is down.

I would get nearly twice as many birds for the amount of eggs you want. You will average 5 eggs per week, per bird. Some birds are better layers than others. My first pullet, a Rhode Island White, from this years hatch just started laying. She has been pretty consistent. I have others that look...

:thumbsup I don't know how far away you are but there are pretty much always pullets for sale.

You will need to know how many nearly POL's vs chicks. The chicks you can figure, you will be feeding for several months before you get any eggs so it's the cost difference. Since I hatch out all of my chicks it's different but I still have to feed them. For around 200 birds, I go through around...

These are my coops and pens. I usually have anywhere from a round 200 to 500 during hatching season, realizing around half of the hatches will be males which I grow out and keep the best as future breeders and sell the rest of them.

All of the breeds you are getting and fine layers. My best layers are my Leghorns and my Rhode Island Whites. I live near Ocala. I raise some others breeds (see my signature). They will slow down laying now because most will be going through their yearly molt. I have a lot of birds and sell my...
