Yep in North Canton Area, no secret just clean water 2-3x a day (got 5 waterers). Refill their feeders 2x a day (5 feeders) supplement them with fermented feed and healthy treats (from our garden & local grocer). Keeping the coop and run, free of mites, my dad was a germo city slicker.

does anyone talk about your price? I'm worried folks won't buy ours if we charge more:/ we were thinking 2.50-3? Utica area

Chicken math brought us to 26 layers - waiting for 5 more to lay, before fall (molting) a few weeks some will go to retirement since ideal count is 24-25.

That's not bad at all, I was trying to work out the math for 70$ in eggs and it had me wondering. Do you only have 2 different ages?

We didn't plan on selling originally, we only wanted 3 chickens, then friends started begging us for eggs @first we gave them free eggs since we ended up w/ 10 hens more than we consumed. We started charging for $3/doz just to buy feeds but supply & demand (principle of economics) took us further when we gave friends tour of our coop/garden. We can hardly keep up.

So I guess you have to depend it on what your area market can sustain.

1 egg from 6 RIR hens they just started on the 17th of August in the past 5 days I've gotten 4 eggs

 

[fireredcannon]

So now that I'm home I can say 3 eggs today which brings my year to date count to one dozen

Eggs number 1#, 4 and 5 are not present because I ate them
