but I have 11 hens and more than enough eggs. I switched to feeding them only organic food and it's costing me a fortune. I have Rhode Island reds, Ameraucana (beautiful blue eggs), Black Australorp, and my favorites - my 3 Buff Brahmas. I also have a huge monster rooster - a Buff Orpington. He is twice the size of my chickens.
