Is a hen an older chicken?
A hen is a adult female chicken.
Does the length of the comb determine the hen's age?
It can, but it is not a fire proof way of doing it. Typically, the larger the comb, the older the hen. But, this can also mean that it is the domninant hen of the flock (and is not necessarily older than the others). Then there are some breeds which have comb types which cannot be used to identify age (such as Ameraucanas or Leghorns).
What can you do to keep a chicken from eating their eggs?
Luckily this is not usually a problem. Cannibalism within the flock is not something you can train a hen to stop doing. Once a hen has started to break open eggs to get at the contents the others can quickly follow. The way most farmers handle this is to cull the offending hen and have a chicken dinner.

How do you purchase a battery hen from any commercial chicken farm?
Most battery farm operations cull aged out birds once per month. These are hens that are reaching the end of their optimum laying time and may no longer be laying eggs reliably. These hens are often sold for slaughter at cheap prices so an offer of a few dollars per hen will sometimes interest the owners. Check with the farm office and let them know you would be interested in purchasing a few older hens and they will probably gladly sell a few to you.
Why does your chicken lay at night and then eat it?
This is typical of a young hen who is not being careful. Young pullets ofter break their own eggs at first just by moving around but the hen who has laid the egg may not be the culprit All chickens will eat egg that is available from a broken shell, few chickens will purposely break an egg to get at the food and if this is happening you need to cull the offending hen as the others will learn this and you will get few eggs for yourself. One meal of chicken from the "bad" hen will mean more eggs for breakfast in the future.
