How many chickens are needed for a supply of eggs for a family of 6?

Most small farm families with 8 to 10 hens and one rooster can manage well on the eggs laid per week and have extra to give away or sell. Depending on the breed you can get as many as 10 eggs per day. Number will vary with condition and age of the hens and the rooster will ensure a continuation of the flock for subsequent years if the fertilized eggs are collected each spring for a small hatch of chicks.
