Default eggs

I gotta get my 2 Cents in. About 25 years ago my friend in Stonington CT had ten chickens, but the city made him get rid of them. So we found a place in the country and the guy let us put up a chicken coup in his yard. But what he forgot and we did not know, is he floods that area every year for a ice skating ring for neighbor kids. We got a phone call that our chickens were in trouble. some had the legs frozen in ice and could not move. I had a storage shed out back, so we got the chickens put them in that made a small run for them. I ordered from Sears Roebuck and Co more chicks, 25 and they came regular mail, only one died. We used saw dust to keep the chicken coup clean. I told my friend the first thing I am gonna do if they wake me up is call him. And we found we had 5 roosters on Thanksgiving morning. But I supplied eggs to a few neighbors and got no complaints. this in the city of Norwich CT.
