Seeking a dozen top egg laying Chickens

Try Don Bosco Farms or Silliman farms. Each grow their own layers. Young layers start laying small eggs and the size of the egg becomes larger as they age.

The eggs you buy in the Public market are shipped from Dipolog and are several days old before they reach the market. Likewise the semi parked between Lantau and Tiki bar are several days old.

Don Bosco and Silliman farms early in the day run out of eggs due to the many restaurants that demand the freshest eggs.

King KZ across from DCCO has farm fresh eggs supplied by one of their family members. The sizes available at any given time depends on the age of the birds.

Eggs when they are old, the yolks break when put in the skillet.

have you had chickens before ??
50 is a lot, better not have them too close to the neighbours, the smell and the wildlife all that poo will attract. will take a lot of caring for, time wise, where ever you keep them you will need access to clean the place, wet crap on dry crap is hard to shift, keep the water off the ground, as they will crap in that too, food is another factor, pick a budget and stick to it , not all the birds will lay, so you gotta have them sorted, no point in feeding 50 birds if only 35 are laying, finally there is some disease/sickness/airborne gunk, that kills all the birds, if happened me twice. (also most of the neighbours also went the way of the DODO)..........I ASKED THE MOTHER WHAT KILLED UM got the shrug of the shoulders, happens lots of times, no locals bothered to ask why, went to LGU asked if it was possible to figure out why, I was laughed out the door

 

Agreed those eggs at the market are yuck, awful things they are, the shell has more nutrition

 

Begs the question: Did you buy a chicken first or an egg first?

 

my bucolic adventures here include a half hectare of rice, twice with piggerys and once with layers. all with family members. lost more money with the chickens than anything else, but every adventure lost money. have shifted to having a big party every christmas. that way i know my budget.
