I'm still just starting out, have six chicks now, and am getting four more over the next couple of weeks. They won't be laying for a while yet obviously, but I was talking to someone today, and they said "How many eggs will you have". I've got breeds that lay about 5 or so eggs per week, not counting the 2 Silkies. So say 8 hens, laying 5 eggs, that's 40 eggs per week.
We normally go through a dozen eggs every 2-3 weeks. Do you see where I'm heading? Say I take the extra 4, that leaves me about 3 dozen eggs per week!
So. I'm wondering what everyone else does with all their eggs? I can barely hold back from not getting more chickens, and I can't imagine what those of you with oodles of hens do with them. I don't have that many frirends and neighbors interested (half my neighbors have chickens of their own!)
Thanks,
Sioux
