Oooh, thank you for the tip! I might consider getting some, but for sure I want some that lay large eggs often.(I bake a TON!) I definitely want a couple Orpingtons, EEs, Leghorns, Rhode Islands, and maybe a few bantams (maybe Silkie!). I am moving to a home with 2+ acres of land. Lots of opportunities! Main purpose I keep chickens is for entertainment and pets, but eggs are such a great thing to get-right out of your own backyard! I've been taking care of my own chooks for 10+ years and egg-spect to continue in the future when the time is right!I don't know your situation but my heart goes out to you! If you decide to get more chickens later you might want to consider getting modern game or OEG chickens.They do lay fewer and smaller eggs but they're predator savvy and fly better which makes them easier to free range in the right setting.Wishing you the best!
