Pups or chicks?

What breeds does she have?

I love EEs, and my barred rock was really nice. You can easily breed your own sexlink hybrids. You just have to have the right colored parents to get what you want.

From what I have read about egg production you can expect a 10% reduction in eggs per year. From their first year. through out their lifespan

Having cramps and nausea now. I ate a nice hot lunch and I want to go shopping, but I also want to nap with my heating pad.

I'm just pitiful today.

I suggest you go shopping for a heating pad to use in the car lol

That sounds about right, except for my Leghorn that went from 6 day per week to ZERO after her second laying season. If eggs are your priority, you will be very frustrated by broody breeds, unless you keep a separate pen just to let them hatch. Cochins and Silkies are dedicated broodies, and Brahmas probably are as well. My hub's has always want those, but I worry they would be too hot in the summer. I might have to risk it!

Wow! You are the first person that ever got that! I made it intentionally vague to see if anyone would think it through. Wouldn't want a door without a screen and good locks, but also want to open it frequently to see what's out there!
