Alabama....We expect an egg a day from each and every hen....Our hens of choice are the Red Star from Murry McMurray Hatchery and this year we are trying 40 Novajen Brown from Valley Farms Hatchery here is Alabama.....We do get about a 98% lay rate until the hens are 3 yrs old....All 5 pens are exposes to natural daylight at the ends of the open pole barn and the chicks all 150 of them have free range from daylight when I open the gates to to dark when they go to roost.....Have had chicks for 5 years now and had good success with "Scoots Organic Eggs".....They may just put Scoot (The 10 year old Grandson) thru college....We do feed a very high quality expensive Organic feed...and so, have to charge a fairly high price for the Jumbo Eggs these hens produce, but Oh, they taste so good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
