[Ag-eq] Choosing Hens

[Susan Roe]

Jody,

My hens rest about 2 months.  They taper off the end of October to Mid 
November until I only get an egg or so every 4 to 6 days and then it is like 
someone turns on the conveyer belt on slow and then gradually speed things 
up starting January.  My hen numbers are down and I am determined to get two 
new flocks, 20 to 25 hens each and a rooster for each flock.  I am setting 
money aside until March because it is probably going to cost me around $300. 
Matt has until then to make two chick carriers.
