Consider ducks. Anconas produce for years, chickens produce for a very short time.
Ducks are more aware of predators than chickens.
Ducks lay on a 24 hr. cycle.... usually between 04:00 - 08:00.
Chickens lay on a 25 hr. cycle.
Free range Anconas provide long-chain omega 3 fatty acids. Chicken eggs should have a phytosterol precursor.
The neighbors must not like their chickens crowing early in the morning, so they put the chickens over closer to my property.
