About 21 days. Temperature changes can easily delay hatching.
on sitting on them Hens on a farm lay eggs into straw and the hens sit on the eggs until they hatch. Hens in large chicken farms do get to have such a luxury. The chickens' eggs are kept under heat until they hatch.
Maybe. :)
It can do i had two hens sitting with six eggs each they both hatched three chicks all eggs had chicks in them but three from each had died in the eggs
I'll tell you as soon as they've come out, someone told me about 20 days and one of our hens is sitting on her eggs now.
This is their hormonal cycle, which is a period every 24 hours. This is usually for infertile eggs.
All hens lay eggs.
There is no such thing as a "boy hen". Hens are female chickens.
Hens are mom chickens and roosters are dad chickens. Only mom chickens, hens, lay eggs. They lay eggs all year.
Eggs from battery hens, i.e. hens that are kept in cages (known as batteries) where several hens live together in one cage. These hens cannot roam freely as free-range hens can.
To stop hens from setting (sitting on eggs to hatch them), you can remove the eggs from the nest as soon as they are laid. You can also provide distractions by giving them new things to explore or changing their environment to deter them from wanting to sit. Additionally, you can try limiting their access to secluded nesting areas.
You want your hens are to the age of laying eggs (which is about 6 months), and your hens are under the age of three years (because when they reach this age, they are past their prime, and lay less eggs). Expect from your hens that every day 80% of the number of hens will be your number of eggs. So with this math, if you have 60 hens that are all in their prime, you can expect to get about 1344 eggs in four weeks.
Broody hens do lay eggs. They actually lay one [1] egg every day or two.
