Family of 4. I cook eggs for myself and my two children almost every morning.....so 4 eggs almost everyday. I have 5 hens that haven't started laying yet and 1 rooster. I'll probably get 3 more hens eventually. I don't want to have to buy eggs anymore.

we're a family of 7 on 5 acres in rural washington. We have 16 chickens currently. At least one is a roo and another is a "suspect."

Right now, they're all too young to lay

I must sit patiently and wait until they're old enough!

Just 2 of us on 5 acres. We have 9 pullets that are about 15 weeks old. Don't want to buy grocery store eggs once they start laying.
