7ish years. Our flock was wiped out by raccoons so we are trying to replenish. silkie chickens are small so you can fit a whole bunch in a coop, so it takes a couple batches of incubation to fill it out.

Of those 7 years how many of those do they actually lay eggs?

>>42676940
Foxes are smart; they tunnel and can break in to normal cages.

IIRC a good way to deter foxes when you have actual coops is to place a mirror right opposite the entrance; the fox will think there's already a fox there and back off

You eat them.

>>42677134
I have 4 acres, you can get away with much less. People raise chickens in the suburbs on a half acre or less. I would not advise roosters in this situation though. You mainly need a coop (You can DIY a big one for under $300), chicken grit to help them digest, a bit of food to supplement what they scavenge from ranging during the day, and chick starter food if you're hatching/buying chicks. It is best if you have enough land to keep roosters though, they help defend the flock and give you a supply of fertile eggs to replenish those lost to hawks or other predators.
>>42677144
They'll be kept as pets. We have a slow turnover of chickens as we lose some to hawks, so we will never have a complete flock too old to produce eggs. We produce enough eggs for ourselves and our neighbors, they're cheap enough to maintain, and the emotional attachment my family has to them makes me not want them to be killed.
>>42677154
Most of their lifetime. About 7-8 months into life they produce eggs reliably. Some people say their hens have laid for 10 years in a 15 year lifespan. Most keep laying regularly for 90% of their lifetime.

Get chickens regardless.

>Set up the coop and a small run in the corner of the property. Along the length along the edge of the property run a long cage. I have cattle fencing folded up into long rectangular boxes
>zip tie a bunch together for a long tunnel
>make garden beds 4' wide running perpendicular to that run
>leave ~24" between beds
>make arches out of thin conduit and chicken netting to fit in the aisles between garden beds 4' long.

Now you can use all these pieces to move your chickens around the garden and let them graze without them being able to tear up your actual garden or get picked off by predators.

I also made some arches that will fit over sections of the garden beds when I get done with a spot and need them to clear it out.

I have more space so my beds are 4' apart and 4' wide. But 2' will be plenty of room for chooks to scratch around and find bugs and grass.

I have 30 chickens in the garden and they can tear it up quickly so I give them two 4' wide paths between my 30' long beds and I let them have the space for two days before moving them to another two rows. They keep the paths' pretty well mowed, weed and bug free.

they even had chicken mini glasses back in 40s or so to prevent chickens going nuts over seeing blood and pecking it to death, so the glasses made them not able to detect blood color

>>42681999
>>42681699
>>42681664

Chickens have self-destructive behavior. If one chicken pecks another and draws blood, the other chickens will do so too until its dead. Its an issue with free-range chickens. Chickens will also bath in their own shit if you dont give them dust to fluff their feathers in. They got quite the herd instinct. Great for killing rodents though outside.

Mature birbs

I raise chickens, they produce 60 eggs per month

>>42682032
I can see why farmers preferred to keep the chickens in cages.

>>42682345

Which kind of chickens?
Most birds vary based on a bunch of stuff. Happy chickens are obviously best, but I have 8 and I tend to get a yield of 160-180 eggs/month for 6-7 months (mid to late march to late October/early November).
And everyone I've talked to and everything I've read is normal. Are you using some weird egg breed or something?

>>42682418
I don't know what kind of chickens are they (small), I'm in Mex.; bought in a little town. Btw they are 5 chickens. Some put daily and others every other day. Fed with corn, rise, wheat, oat, vegetables and all the "sobras" (remains of our family food ), many herbs from our vegetable garden, and compost bugs. I see them pretty happy, they also had chicks this season. We raise them only for our own family consumption. They lay all the year through. Perhaps the weather and breed affects them

>>42679527
Roosters? Depends on their temperament and personalities. Some are more chill, others just want to fuck errday and assume their dominance over their chicken harem.

>>42682271
>>42682257

Quails are an awesome addition to any aviary. You can just have them scuttling about on the floor.

The only issue is rats. A rat chewed through the back of my parents aviary and killed a budgie the other day. The entire thing is solidly built but the fuckers always find a way in. My doggo keeps killing rats (pic related) but they're in the coutryside so there's shitloads and they don't stop coming.

Total cost of the pen was about $200 plus about 16-24 hours of labor on my part. Overall I get about 1,440 eggs a week, which would cost about $240-360 a year, which I probably spend about $250 that on chicken feed. I'm not saving much if any money here but damn these are good eggs.

There's no need to clean the eggs until you're ready to use them

In fact, cleaning them automatically predicates refridgeratinf them to prevent bacterial buildup. Leaving them unwashed they can be kept just fine on the counter for up to a week.

Although, why you'd have eggs sitting around for a week is beyond me. Ours don't even make it past sunrise.

>>42687581
Cleaning the eggs removes the bloom, a natural barrier that prevents dust and bacteria from entering an eggshell. Theres no real need to clean them unless you're using the eggshells in s recipe or something.
The bloom helps them stay fresh longer and keeps them sterile.

Eggs are good for about a month at room temperature. I keep them chilled.
>>42687988
Birds have free range of the yard, they sleep and winter in the pen. Yards about 1.2 acres with several garden beds and plenty of rooting space.
Cool psychic powers though, need a little more practice.

>>42688353

I can't keep up with the laying basically. I bring them to work once a week (Sunday) and we usually make a big pan of scrambled eggs and bacon for the crews. Usually have two hard-boiled eggs for protein a day.
Also keep them stockpiled for winter to do the same thing. I like to keep things going even when there's 30 inches of snow on the ground.

Sorry for late response, but Turken's are different from Turkey's.

A turken is just a chicken with no feathers on it's neck

>1,440 a week
Fug I meant in a year

>>42690205
do you eat them all? that's like 4 eggs on a daily basis

>>42683644
Turkey lay eggs only to breed in spring or sometimes a second time in summer
they're shit for eggs and compared to chicken their meat is too expensive and difficult to produce at an individual level but they're really fun to have around

>>42690249

Nah, I usually eat at most 5 eggs a week, usually hard boiled.

Once a week (Sunday) my firehouse cooks up 36 eggs and bacon, toast, ect. and we have a big breakfast with the Ambulance crews. Most of the left over eggs go to that, usually we only need to buy a dozen a week at most.

My senpai has about 50. After selling the eggs, it breaks even with seed costs, but we get a metric dickload of free eggs.

I would think the chickens would keep the rats out themselves, dont chickens love to fuck up smaller animals.

>>42677679
Never eat wild mushrooms you can not absolutely identify anon. You could have certain, painful death.

>>42675266
Have a few chickens, Though we don't collect the eggs from our bantam silkies, as they're too small to really eat, however we have a mix of bigger chickens that give us a pretty decent supply of eggs.

>not letting them breed for exponential protein

Keep them as pets, i have a few chickens nearly 10 years old.

>>42691267

>>42693006
Tiny little hitlers.
Not sure if its a behavior learned when confined so much though.
>>42693143
Eventually you'll drown in chickenshit. Breeding them to keep up a stable stock as you cull some of the old ones might make some sense. They are so cute though, it would hurt to kill them. But may their gains be eternal.

I honestly have no idea how these things have managed to survive in the wild. We have dwarf orbingtons and they're thicc round lil fucks. absolutely zero defense though. They get hunted by foxes out here quite often though. My cat might not lay eggs (that i know of) but he's at least able to god damn defend himself and is actually nice unlike those feathered fucks. Even though they look cute from afar

how damaging are chickens to wildlife? Also I grow potatoes, tomatoes, zucchinis and onions. If I let them roam free could they destroy my crops?

Well most chickens we farm aren't natural, but have been bred specifically as farmable species.

Wild jungle Red Jungle Fowl (primary progenitor of modern farmed chickens) are pretty different.
