@Karunakar Jena, you can definitely keep both types of birds in same place but not in same room. They have different food habits so better check that. You can get loans from various places like society loan, co-operative loan, gramya loan, local banks.

@udofia itoro, Hi udofia itoro, The size of egg usually depends on age of the bird and different breed of birds lay different quantity of eggs. I think the best laying time is 1 to 2 year of age. All layer birds under one year usually lay small eggs first then after that they lay larger size eggs. A 30 weeks hen lays two eggs in every three days so not to worry if your bird are producing smaller eggs because of the age.

@GK, Hello GK, There are many breeds of bird available in the market. Here are some of the popular layer breeds but you have to check with local veterinary to make sure which are good for your weather.
