As you know I love cooking, so a few Quiches, and Cakes will easily use them up.

But.....When I had my last lot of Chickens (Three) they only laid about 7 a week, so my estimate of 23 eggs a week might be way off, I might only end up with about 10-12.

When they finally decide to lay that is. No eggs this morning, Again.

when they start laying i would be inclined to expect 1 egg per day dependant on season and age of the hen ,you may get more ,you may only get 1 every other day all depends on the hen
