I can cconcur. Eggs are much better and the yolk is a lot tastier than shop bought.
Surprisingly cheap to keep. Cheaper than buying eggs in fact.
About 1 a day per chicken.

We never get supermarket eggs any more, they’re tasteless compared to fresh farm eggs, you also got the bonus of double yolks in half of them.

They absolutely are 100% better - always a rich dark yellow yolk and a solid albumen, bags of taste; I have a heavy breed of bantie (Marans) they lay the most beautiful dark brown egg and once in full swing they lay one a day each for months on end. I'll never buy a 'shop' egg again.

They are indeed.

My 2nd to last unfortunately passed a week ago. I am left with 1 now. Obviously she cannot stay on her own.

I have never experienced introducing new birds to the flock. I don't really have the means to keep them separate for a period either. Some say its OK to let em figure it out...others not.

I was thinking if I get 20wk+ age, they should be able to stick up for themselves until the hierarchy is agreed (obviously my current one on top).
