The ostrich is never coming, its been vetoed and there is a permanent executive order against bringing it up. :)

First year is the best - a drop in the second and third. A lot of serious backyard producers put their hens on the chopping block after the second year - earlier if they are "lazy" layers or should be culled to keep the flock strong.
If you have nine good hens you can get around six eggs a day. That is if you manage your chickens well. It really only takes a few minutes a day once you have the routine down - and your chickens will love you - they're not stupid birds.

VV,
You realize you have a perfect setup to make it through some hard years. Eggs have all the nutrition you need except vitamin C (boil pine needles to get that) and if you buy some bags of lye you can make soap with the excess goat milk - great for bartering when the shelves are empty.
Is this a long term thing for you?

Ooh man! I love chickens and goats!

For how many years does a hen "yield" eggs?
-

nice animals :)
We have 12 chickens, 6 laying and 6 teenagers. We too love watching them and we call it "chicken TV". We live in the Denver suburbs and have inspired 3 of our neighbors to get chickens. It is becoming a farm on our street. Totally awesome!!! Many on our block are doing large gardens too - for a city neighborhood we've got a good thing going!!!!! Love your goats.

Major conversation starter as well :) People love asking about them and hearing my chicken stories.

how much does it cost to feed all your animals?

12 bucks a month for the goats and about 15 for the chickens.

I literally could waste away an afternoon watching my chickens, sheep and rabbits. It really is relaxing and mind-clearing. Sometimes quite entertaining as well... "Lovely" is a nice looking Boer goat! You'll have to track down someone with a billygoat for breeding so that you can keep those girls milking...
