Welcome to BYC -- I am so glad you have joined us, and that you are enjoying your new flock. It is really amazing just how they can draw you in, watching "chicken tv" never gets old.

Once they start laying you should get a lot of eggs from them.

Thanks for the welcome. They were out in the run for first time yesterday. Funny to watch them go down the ramp to the grass then turn and run up the ramp. Good entertainment for the dogs too

We read where they will lay 300-350/yr per chicken. With our 8 it works out to almost 5 doz a week.
