Thanks for the information everybody. I only have them as pets and keep
them both outside. As you can tell i know nothing about poultry, and i
also want to know what happens next after they lay the eggs. How do i
know if they are eggs to eat? Will they lay baby chicks? Do they need a
rooster to have babies? My uncle says that they can get pregnant just
by eating healthy, is that true? Every day they lay new eggs, is that
normal?
