That sounds about right. Meat birds definitely don't count since you'll only have them a couple of months.

Gosh... I feel so lacking here... call me chicken challenged... I only have 3. yup, THREE laying hens. I'm getting 3 eggs a day (so far) and already have started filling a second 18 egg carton. Kinda provides evidence/explanation/reason and rational behind having only 3.

Where are the pictures of the hens and their coop? I'm guessing not as fancy built as the ones you had in CO.

I don't think about the output of them....it is the intake that I attempt to balance....if I can't give em away, then I can sure use for traget practice....

Or let Gabbie drop the eggs down the stairs then go fetch them

A frittata makes a easy, tasty supper when you're tired and don't want to cook. Easier than an omelet too.

Made one for breakfast today. Diced up a potato, used a sweet Italian sausage *, the 2 yolks that had been in water in the fridge (from DW and DD1 making DD2's birthday cupcakes Monday) and 2 small eggs from the Exchequer Leghorns.

* one 3 oz link left over from when I made lasagna 2 weeks ago. Snuck the sausage in along with a pound of ground beef. Apparently DD2 didn't notice

What she doesn't know won't hurt her and I'm sure you enjoyed the flavor more, just knowing that sausage was in there.

@Bruce I'm jealous that sounds really good lol
@Baymule fritatas are one of my favorite breakfast dishes and typically in my household we make one huge one and have it for a few meals here. With spinach and feta.... mmm so good
