Depends, I love eggs at least 18/week. Most chickens you get one maybe two/bird/day. And the homegrown can vary in size. If you can swing it, it is the way to get great eggs. Unless you get ducks that have a superior egg.
Valuable info, many thanks. My nephew raises chickens for eggs, but unfortunately he now lives almost 2 hours away. Always liked the different shell colors laid by the various breeds / sub-breeds.
Chicken Slide...... do people still offer crushed oyster shells to their hens, to promote good shells on the eggs? Back in the 70s when I was the chicken-raising girl on our farm, we offered them oyster shells. Just curious.
