We had 18 chickens last spring February/March we currently have 8 chickens. We culled out our flock and keep our best layers, 2 are Leghorns one white and one brown I prefer white eggs because their yolk is so orange. The rest we have left are 2 Barred Rocks, 2 Rhode Island Reds and 2 Black Sex-Links that lay brown eggs. I give a lot of eggs away to family, friends and co-workers I do not sell any. My wife and I prefer free-range chickens to commercial raised chickens, we know they are far healthier. My wife will make soup out of all her chickens so it doesnt matter what age they are. We will vacation in China for two weeks in March/April so will cull our flock to 6 and restock in April when we return. The chickens do live a good life in comparison to commerical raise chickens I must say.
