The eggs sure taste better but the chicken all depends on the variety you raise. Some species give good eggs but taste not so good. Where I live (backyard coops less than 3 acres) you can only have 6 hens no roosters and you cannot kill the hens for food. Now consider that you only get eggs food about 3 years but the chickens live for 5-6 years. Six years old chickens don’t taste very good no matter the species.
