Frequently Asked Questions

How many laying hens do I need for a family of four? Most families of four are well served by 6–8 laying hens. A healthy hen lays approximately 5–6 eggs per week, so 6 hens will produce roughly 30–36 eggs weekly—more than enough for regular household use with some to spare.

What is the best laying hen breed for beginners? Rhode Island Reds are widely considered the best-laying hen for beginners. They are hardy, friendly, high-producing, and adaptable to most US climates. Buff Orpingtons are a close second for families with children, as they tend to be especially calm and easy to handle.

At what age do laying hens start producing eggs? Most laying hen breeds begin producing eggs between 18 and 22 weeks of age. Point-of-lay pullets ordered from Feather Flock Farm are typically 16–18 weeks old and will begin laying within a few weeks of arrival.
