Hi! I know I've posted about my non-laying easter egger "hen" Cleo. In the past year and 3 months she has laid one egg.(She will be 2 years old in Feb.). She seems just fine and is a nice pet chicken so its no big deal.
My question is should I try this "breed" again? I have 5 chickens now, would like to max my backyard flock at 8. I love the idea of the colorful eggs, so I'd like to get 3 EE chicks this spring---but should I? What if they are non layers too? I'd love some opinions from some of the more experienced chickeners out there. Thanks!
