A small flock of 2 to 6 hens can easily cover a familys weekly egg needs, depending on how many eggs you use.
High-producing breeds like Golden Comet and Rhode Island Red lay reliably year-round.
Each hen can lay around 56 eggs per week with proper care.
For the best results, provide:
Quality feed
Fresh water daily
Clean nesting boxes
Enough space to roam
Backyard chickens are a sustainable way to enjoy fresh eggs right from home.
