Selling eggs

[CathMB]

Where do I find info on how many chickens I would need to produce
a certain quantity of eggs for what period of time so I can plan ahead.

Thx

Right here on BYC....

How many dozen eggs are you trying to get? Start with how many dozen eggs you want to sell each week.... I will try to help you from there.

I have 14 hens and I get anywhere from 9-13 eggs per day, mostly 10.

It depends on the breed a lot.

This is a somewhat helpful chart when it comes to lots of things about different chicken breeds, including relatively how often they lay and how big and what color the eggs will be.

Hope that helps!

And yes, you find out all that stuff right here at BYC.

You also need to figure that your location is going to make a difference for how many eggs you'll get each day because of weather. I was getting nearly an egg a day from my ladies this spring (12-13 from 15 birds) but when it got hot it dropped down to half that many. It picked back up when the temps dipped below 95 regularly and late fall last year I didn't get ANY eggs for two months because they were all molting.
