It’s become popular to raise and keep a small flock of hens for eggs as a hobby for many families. It is a part of today’s urge to go green and get back to basics.


Most hens can be expected to lay five eggs a week. This means that four to five good layers will mean a couple of dozen eggs a week. Different breeds have different qualities. The best layers won’t usually sit on eggs (be broody) Authentic Eddie Goldman Jersey , but some of the breeds that are just a little less productive will set the eggs for you if you plan to raise chicks.


If you only want to produce eggs to eat, you won’t need to deal with a rooster Authentic Cody Whitehair Jersey , which is a big perk. Roosters can be mean, territorial Authentic Leonard Floyd Jersey , and cause problems with chicks introduced to the flock.
