ya'll are too funny
When we started out....hubby said NO MORE than 3!!! Then the neighbor wanted some...so we said ok well have 6 all together...RESEARCH HELPS~ me to hubby " we need at least one hen per person ideally 2 per person...to have the eggs we want!! So we bought 12 LOL 6 for us and 6 for neighbors...
Well, one is a rooster! So we got TWO to replace that ONE and shhhhhhhhh don't tell...I got an americauna!!!
that is what my hubby is gonna do!! BUT I wanted a colored egg in the bunch!!! PRAYING for green or blue eggs and NOT brown!!! Man, if I could I would have some speckled sussex, cochins, polish, gold laced wynadottes and lots of others!!! Oh, to have more land...we live in a neighborhood with only .17 acres!! We have a 16 foot by 12 foot run in the process...only an 8 by 4 coop, but we live in FL...they won't be in the coop except to roost and lay...now I have to add another nestbox!!!
I got 2 more!! LOL Well I went this morning to replace the americauna, she is the smallest in the bunch and getting picked on...well instead I got 2 more from her flock to keep her company!
So our 3 has ended up at......16
Told my hubby is was ya'lls fault...told him we only have 12 it is chicken math!!
