   Say, I have a couple of questions: How many chickens would you need to have to get 4-6 eggs per day? How long do the chickens lay on average?

     For your purposes, I think about 5 Red Star hens would be perfect. Hens are daylight sensitive when it comes to laying but the Red Star’s or Black Sex Links are laying maniacs. I’ve read that they only lay consistently for about a year. I can’t verify that because all of ours became food for predators last year. 😦 There is a lot more information to share…great idea for a post! Stay tuned and/or we’ll talk about it over the phone.
