We got some more chickens the other day......50 of them!! Glen has promised that he'll keep them in the chicken coop this year......after they destroyed my yard last year. We have one chicken and one duck left out of all of those we had last year!!! It's funny because they pal around together!!

Fifty chickens Diana
Wowser
There is no way I can fit 50 in my tiny backyard. I'm hoping that in five yrs I can relocate out of the city with more space and away from neighbors. I did read somewhere that they can start laying eggs as soon as 7 months and as late as 1 1/2 yrs. I read on the breeds I got and supposedly there good layers. I guess will see.
