What else can I help you with?
A chicken will lay better eggs if they think the day is how many hours long?
Chickens do not lay "better" eggs according to how much daylight there is - the only thing that changes egg quality are living conditions and the food the chickens eat. However, the more daylight there is, the more eggs a hen should lay.
Which is better free range eggs or barn laid eggs?
Free range eggs have more beta carotene, collected from the grass the chickens ate. You can tell by how orange the yolks are.
Why eggs are fertilized?
To make more chickens.
Why dont chickens lay as much eggs in wet weather?
Chickens may lay fewer eggs in wet weather due to the stress it can put on their bodies. Wet conditions can make chickens uncomfortable, leading to decreased egg production. Additionally, moisture can affect the quality of the eggs laid, making the chickens less inclined to lay as many.
What do they do to chickens that cant lay eggs any more?
eat them
Are cage free eggs more expensive then regular eggs?
Yes, but for good reason's. The chickens enjoy a better life and get to enjoy seeing the "outside world". This "freedom" requires more space and time and thus their output is going to cost more.
What are the ethics behind egg production augment?
Battery chickens, the chickens used in egg production, are kept in battery cages. These are tiny cages with very little room for the chicken. They are kept in conditions that would shock most people who eat their eggs. Bright, artificial lights are used to simulate daylight, to make them lay more than they would in natural conditions. They can barely move in their cages, are kept separate from other chickens, and do not have freedom or any kind of natural conditions to live in. Free-range eggs are eggs from free-range chickens, chickens kept in natural conditions- normal lighting, better food, and room to move around. While battery chickens produce more eggs per chicken with less room, the chickens themselves need better care than that, or so many people think.
When selling chickens eggs or their meat what is more profitable?

Why do farmers breed hens?

Why do chickens lay eggs all the time instead of when they are broody?
Chickens have a natural instinct to lay eggs regularly as part of their reproductive cycle. Broodiness is triggered by hormonal changes that encourage incubation of eggs, so chickens typically lay more eggs when they are not broody. This allows them to consistently produce eggs for reproduction.
Do chickens fare better if there is more than one?
Yes, chickens are social and do better with a "flock", even when the "flock" is simply one more bird.
Where are eggs produced the more?
Probably the most eggs are produced the more in the battery hens systems at farms. Lots of eggs are produced by squashing terribly chickens in these confined spaces.So the eggs are produced the more at the locations where these are.
