I started with 6 hens and 3 roosters back on Jan. 3rd of this year, I bought them from craigs list from a seller that told me they were white rocks that ended up being meat birds, anyway since then I purchased 7 chicks from TSC and ordered 10 chicks from an internet site on here... I now have 11 pullets and 1 roo which are all doing great and producing 9 to 10 eggs a day. I'm selling about 4 dozen a week to friends and enjoying the fresh eggs!
