well your breakfast egg is not a chick. to have a chick a hen must get fertilized by a rooster. the egg will taste no different. then the egg is layed. sometimes a hen will sit on it for about a month coming out for some food a couple times a day. the hen will hourly rotate the eggs. then a chick will hatch! the stores do this a different way. they get the fertilized egg, and something called an incubator that heats the eggs. you can buy some auto rotators to rotate the eggs for you though.

Anytime after about 6 weeks old and 1.5 pounds in weight and called Rock Cornish Game Hen. Hens who are past their laying years are often eaten on farms to make room for new birds and are called stewing hens. These birds can be as young as two or old as eight years or more.

Sure they are. They are often much smaller than what they will eventually produce and sometimes they will have no yolk in them. The young pullet is just trying out her production capabilities and will often not lay perfect eggs on the first tries. It may take a week or longer for her body to make the needed adjustments. The eggs are edible.

When did the idiom no spring chicken become popular?

A spring chicken is one born in the spring. If you think about it, you can see how "spring chicken" would mean a young chicken. Chickens do not have long lives, escpecially when they are destined to be eaten for Sunday dinner. The flock of little yellow, fluffy chicks running around are spring chickens. Old people started using that as a humorous way to joke about how old they were. "I'm no spring chicken," someone will say, "but I can still get out on the dance floor."

What is that bojangles commercial with the chicken dancing?

The commercial with the dancing chicken is an advertisement for Bojangles Country Ham Biscuit. It begins with a chicken dancing and then asks the question, "Why is this chicken so happy?" The commercial is hilarious and never seems to get old. I have searched for the commercial online but have not been able to find it yet.
