Surely one's status is always "one's status in the eyes of one's peers"?
Can one have 'status' without it being 'conferred' others?
Can one have 'peers' without already having status?
If one advances one's status then one moves away from one's peers and into a new group of 'peers'.
about a half hour
He makes hens eggs fertile. Hens lay eggs without a rooster, so unless you want more chickens, you do not have to have a rooster around. Roosters tend to be bad tempered and actually hens lay MORE eggs without a rooster around. Roosters are constantly bothering the hens for sex and are very aggressive about it so the hens get quite frazzled about it. Roosters can sometimes pluck all of a hens feathers out chasing her around grabbing her for sexual purposes. They also crow loudly before dawn breaks every morning for about half an hour. You can always get more hens at a hatchery.
no days just half an hour
No. A broody hen will get up to eat and drink and to defaecate. She does this several times per 24 hour period but will remain close to the nest so that she can defend the clutch of eggs and not allow the temperature of the eggs to drop too drastically.
Most hens get into a routine when laying eggs. Often the best time to collect eggs is about one hour before sunset since most hens will have completed the laying process for that day. If there is a hen sitting on a nest just move her to collect any eggs already under her and move to the next next looking for eggs. Always check all dark, quiet areas in the chicken coop as the hens do not always use the nesting boxes. Collect eggs at least once per day and use the float test when there is any doubt about when the egg was laid.
Roosters are able to mate anytime of the year, but it's the hens that have to be willing to accept them that counts. Hens begin to lay eggs when the photoperiod (that's how long the sun stays in the sky during a single 24 hour period) gets longer, i.e., spring time. Since the term between copulation and egg development is short, roosters are able to breed hens in the spring time to encourage fertilization of eggs, which give chicks.
Every half hour or so, a broody hen will shift her weight, therefore, turning the eggs beneath her.
You add two eggs and bake for half an hour. Serve warm with honey.
There are 24 hours in a day (approximately). Thus a half life of 36 hours is equal to 36/24 = 1.5 days.
Yes. Half is a noun and half an hour (half of an hour) is a time period.
no last few days or weeks
The term is actually "half an hour" which is short for "half of an hour". This has same meaning as "half hour" or a rough approximation of 30 minutes.
