well, it's nothing extravagant compared to what I've seen from you, but they were nice for a po valley boy like me
if you can house a dozen or so where you live I'd say go for it. only thing is, you need like 2 roosters for every 10 or so hens. and crowing might be an issue depending on where you live. if you only have a small handful, you'll be eating too fast and not getting eggs fast enough. some lay one egg everyday. some every other or few days. if you're going thru a dozen a day like you say, then you'll need as many hens.
