I have 44 acres, but I consider my hen house, etc., as sort of backyard chickens.
I have 20 hens of various breeds. I have more eggs than I can use. I give them away to various neighbors and friends.
If you want a charming, friendly breed which seems to view humans as friends, I recommend the French Salmon Favorelle.
They are absolutely charming. They enjoy hand feeding and hum while they eat. Their eggs are a little smaller than average.
