Fuck no, I eat 1-3 eggs every day.

Husky lol.
So I have 2 brown chickens that are very well behaved, I don't know what breed they are.
Several years ago we had a small road island red rooster and he was the best rooster we ever had.
When we set down the food he would patrol and walk around the hens and not eat until they were done, such a good boy.

My experience is that there is more variation between individual birds of the same breed than there between the breeds I have experience with. My favorite bird is a barred rock
You won't get bored of eggs unless you use them the same way every day.
Chickens absolutely bond with you, but it's pretty autistic compared to a dog or cat. Still fun.

Nice cock bro

you can have too many eggs. The most prolific breeders will overwhelm you and fast.

>favorite breed
the ones that look like tv static in picrel. they're easy going, have a nice coat, and make a perfect egg
>can chickens bond with you
you can certainly get them to fully trust you. they'll even walk right up expecting you to pick them up
>do you get tired of eggs
if you learn to cook them exactly the way you like, eggs for breakfast never gets old

>Q3: do you get tired of eggs?
I don't even own chickens but I literally eat eggs at least once a day and have done so for 20+ years. I don't think it's possible.

More questions for chicken owners please:

1. Can I get any breeds of hens i want and they will get along OK? (I would like certain egg colors)

2. Is there issues usually to add a hen (baby or adult) to a existing flock? Is there steps you have to take like with cats?

I love it

i've got 3 kinds mixed together. brown, striped, and black. they get along normally, but they're also all the same shape and size, and generally have the same personality. i don't know what happens if you have wildly different species in the same flock
>can you toss a new chicken into the flock
no. they will bully the shit out of her. they might kill her. they might eat her after. they will also have no empathy toward strange chicks

There’s always a risk of a bully even if a batch of hens are all the same size and age. Sometimes smaller birds end up at the bottom of the pecking order, sometimes they overcompensate for their size and end up queen bitch. Don’t introduce single birds into established groups, but adding 4-6 birds of the younger age class to the existing flock is pretty smooth generally.
Some bullying is normal and fine, but if you get a hen that consistently harming other birds, culling is recommended. A good rooster can go a long way towards preventing hen on hen violence, but a bad one will just join in.
