Yield: Eggs

When in my tip top form, I eat two eggs, fried, for breakfast daily. I like the protein early in the morning, and since various health peoples have told me it's safe to eat as many eggs as I wish, I can calculate my chicken and/or duck needs. Young layers [once they start laying at 8mo or so] can be expected to lay an egg every other day. In order to satisfy my breakfast desires, I need four chickens. Ducks are also an option, or so The Backyard Homestead tells me, but it seems like it would be a bit more difficult to care for them.
