Agreed to sell 1/3 of my flock, which = 7 chickens. I promised the lady a golden comet... I've got 3. One is a year older than the others, we didn't discuss ages, so i'm not obligated either way....
pros on selling the older one
she's older
She will be less productive from this point than the other 2.
Cons
my kids really like her (but she's identical to one of the younger ones, and they won't notice the difference)
She is laying really well right now, giant eggs...
I really don't know what to do. i'm tempted to sell her, so that that they have a good, solid egg layer right off... but I'm tempted to keep her, so that I have a good solid egg layer...
