Pink, I am not sure really what I would do except I think I do not want to order eggs to hatch...I think I can find what I may want close enough to drive...just my thought right now but I am still a young chick here (not in real life...HAHA) We share some things though since I have been into chickens...the first was our Polish. You got a trio and I got the other couple left from the same person...yours layed well before mine. You got some Amauracaunas and I did too and yours lay and I am still waiting and looking!!! LOL I get 4 eggs a day from others and know where to find 2 and always search for the other 2 from my free roaming game chickens...another HAHAHA! My Polish quit laying about a couple weeks ago but I have 6 of those growing in the incubator...wish me luck!...and I have 6 Golden Comet eggs in at the same time that "should" be fertile but are not growing/developing??? These are from my few own chickens. I did go in together with my DD the other week and we visited a great lady from this forum and had a marvelous time with her and came away with some hatching eggs. They did not do/hatch as well as we (being new) thought they would...but thinking about the weather and all the other things (molting and such) that play into all this at this time I think everything went well. I don't know when or where you got your suspected unfertile eggs from but I can say my 6 Comet eggs were not from a hen that "Just" started laying...and I witnessed weeks of a Roo mating before I collected for the incubator...this is a sketchy time so I would just "throw a grain of salt" in with your thoughts on getting infertile eggs right now. I have seen many posts though where if you go back to where you purchased your eggs mostly they try to make it "right"!!! Good luck and I hope to visit you one of these days to see your place and PLEASE visit me too! I can use all the inspiration and recommendations anyone can offer!
I need to add the final math...19 chickens and a guaranteed 2 eggs a day I know where to find...BUT jeez I love these birds!
Yep - that sounds about right!
If you want to collect 2 or 3 DOZEN eggs a day then you need about 500 layers.
