Have about 50. Hyline brown, game hens, silkies, old english, Polish, Ameraucauna. In spring, I got 1.5doz a day. Now it's anywhere from 8 to 13 eggs a day. We don't eat eggs often, so we give them to family. They can go through a 50lb bag of crumble and a 50lb bag of scratch grains in about 1.5 weeks. It's crazy how much you have to basically make a fortress out of their lot to keep out predators.

Also have peafowl, but those are mostly decoration.

Ive heard peafowl eat ticks, and will sound an alarm if they spot any sort of predator. Seems handy. Wish i could have some but im away from home too much.
