?? Average Home Flock Size ????

[fiberart57]

Hello,
I am a family of two, me and cousin, and we currently have 11 nine-week old chicks. Some of which will be rehomed because we are only allowed six. All of the neighbors are pretty supportive; the one to the east has his own chickens. I have a big lot, 0.20 of an acre.

Family of 4 in a typical suburban setting. Two hens currently laying, two additional girls which should be laying by the end of summer, with any luck.

Family of 9/ 7 at home now. We are on .333 of an acre. You can see how many chickens I have in my sig. I've got to separate all of the roos... I'm just waiting until September, when it starts getting a little cooler.

I live on 60 acres, 30 of which is not woodlands. I have 33 chickens which includes 2 roos that run the flock, and various roos that are young (and one will survive...). I have 14 eggs in the incubator right now. I am working on Welsummers, Wheaten marans, and a flock of around 14-15 egg layers of various breeds.

Family of 2, have 10 hens and two roos. Am getting more!! None laying yet, hoping to sell eggs to help cover feed costs.

Family of five, with three under five (they dont eat that many eggs.

) We have about 1 acre, but it is surrounded by alfalfa feilds on all sides, where our chickens happily serve as bug patrols.

We have 7 laying hens, 7 point-of-lay hens, and around 15 other chicks that we will be keeping.

Of course, all together I have around 65 chickens and chicks, but most of them are chicks for sale.

Family of 2, 2 acres, 7 teenage hens, 1 dog, 4 cats, some stray cats.

No one is laying yet but I got relatively heavy layers so I am going to be up to my ears in eggs. Luckily, I cook a lot and eat eggs like other people eat chips.

I have 34 chickens - mix of standards and bantams - on a 1/2 acre small town setting. They have 26'x23' run area and 8x10ft coop. Oh, family of 5...we only use them eggs and pets, no meat birds.
