14. Speed, eggs, dangers to hamsters?

Love the videos and pictures of the ranch.  So exciting! and BEAUTIFUL!  Haha! Thanks! 

1. How fast and how long can chickens run?  In the movie Rocky he trains by chasing a chicken and trying to catch it so we were wondering if your chickens are hard to catch? Yes, they are fast! I can post a video later of one running.* Ours are pretty sweet so they don't run away all that much, but when we have a skittish one it's really tough. Not sure how long they can run though.

2. It looks like you have a lot of chickens, if they all lay eggs do you have an overabundance of eggs and what do you do with the extra?   Do you sell your eggs? We do have a lot. We get about 7 or 8 eggs a day since they don't all lay everyday. We don't sell them but we take a dozen to neighbors every once in a while. 

3. Lauren wants to know if chickens can eat hamsters?  Haha! I guess they can. I don't think they'd attack one, but they do try to eat dead mice.

*Just posted the video on "BarnyardPics"

Great questions! Love you!
