Hi amber I thought it was 3 but I might be wrong? No, no roosters. I have 2 laying atm and I get enough eggs

3 layers will supply more than enough eggs for a family of 5. I think the rules about suburbia depend on where you are.

and yes, no roosters .. I have 3 out there crowing at the moment and various little rooster fights going on so a bunch of my babies are clearly roosters ...
