The "super laying breeds "just tend to burn themselves out earlier, and often develop health conditions from it that shorten their lives.

Thanks.
That is good to know.

Hi Valerie, do you currently have a flock?

Thank you,
I do have a small flock. I might need to find a home for 1 as my city has a 7 bird limit and the place I purchased from said minimum purchase of 4. We ended up buying 8. I would hate to separate them as they have been together since hatching.

Who's going to notice one extra bird? Claim you have difficulty counting past 5.

Dobie Lover makes sense, I have trouble counting past even numbers like 2 or 4.
