High price of eggs? Bite me.

Should be laying in about 2-3 months or so. Maybe 3-4

This is the way to go. I never realized how terrible the quality of store-bought eggs was until we raised our own chickens.

I've got room for a small coop, but our HOA won't allow one, even though we're in a rural area.

Bite me?...yeah.

Just picked up 6 more fluff balls. Should start laying in about 20 weeks. Already have 6 layers but we need a few more to keep up.

Unless my dogs start laying eggs, I'm paying retail.

You're looking closer to 4+ months before you get eggs. Still worth it though cause the price of eggs will not go back down. What you got there? Rhode Island Red & Australorp?

Rhode Island Reds (3), Jersey Giants, Black Star (I think), with 2 Olive Egger coming today. They're my BiL's, so I'm not sure of the total of each.
Already amended my post to show more like 4 months.
Oops, just found out the Olive Eggers are not available.
Pic of the partially finished coop. It will get a metal roof, which will outlast the rest of the coop and probably all of us.

The black splotch on the wall behind the coop is a Black Bear he got a year or 2 ago.

Friend grew up on Chicken Ranch is MidWest, he said that product over 10,000 Eggs daily, and he was so happy to be away from SMELL. I get my Eggs at Commissary, they are pricy, but not like local retail grocery stores, and no smell.
