    I think I've showed pixs that my bro and SiL have about 25-30 chickens. They've been up to 3 dozen before and when they're all producing, they get about 2 doz eggs a day. Now they're down in numbers and in the summer" doldrums"--birds coming out of molt, older birds slowing down in laying so they're down to about a doz eggs a day with about 22-25 hens. They're going to get some semi-grown pullets soon instead of raising chicks so they can get their egg count back up fairly fast.

    I have about a hoaf a dozen steady customers at work. I've just raised the prices for the first time in 3 years up to about $3 a dozen. Several SD cities are fairly progressive about back-yard birds. In Sioux Falls, a person can have 6 but no roosters. Brookings, which is a university town, also allows chickens in town. But not my uptight anal-retentive bedroom town. I knew a gal who had 3 hens in the triple garage and her neighbor ratted her out and she had to get rid of them. Dam commies...



    Here's bro with some of his birds a couple winters back.
