10-15 laying right now, many of them banty or banty+orp mix, and then 20 bym chicks. Two summers ago, we got 2 doz full size eggs a day. We have a pretty egg centric diet. Dogfood, deviled eggs, eggs for breakfast, boiled eggs. When we had 20 more laying hens, we had enough for several customers.
This is a reset year. I’m about to buy amereraucana and marans eggs tonight. Then when that’s established, maybe some fresh Orpington blood this fall.

Plus Americaunas, Starlight Green, Bluebell Egger, Olive Eggers & an Easter Egger, , Sussex, Black Sex link and Barred Rock. Lol I have quite the diversity but would love more! Mine all have names, believe it or not and I know each by their names!
