Genetic pattern of the breed of hen
Maximum production of top-quality eggs starts with a closely controlled breeding program emphasizing favorable genetic factors. Sex-Links are the most productive brown egg layers be cause they are a mix of two high productive breeds. If you were to breed a very low productive chicken with a high productive chicken, the next generation would not be nearly as productive as their high productive parent. But if you were to cross a high productive breed with another high productive breed the next generation would be just as productive or more productive than there parents

Breeds such as leghorns have been developed to become prolific egg layers, for commercial use (the eggs you see in the store were probably laid by a leghorn!), whereas decorative breeds such as the polish or sumatras do not produce as many (there are exceptions though!)

What is the progress of egg growth?
Eggs do not grow, they are laid full size.

How many eggs does the angelfish lay?
a total of 100 to more than 1,200 eggs are laid, depending on the size and health of the female fish.
Do all owls lay eggs?

How big is the pigeons egg before it hatches?
THe same size as when it was laid. Bird eggs don't stretch
Do killdeer eggs grow after being laid?
No. once the egg is laid they do not increase in size at all. The egg is formed in the oviduct of the hen bird and remains the same size once the calcium shell is deposited around the yolk and albumen.
How big are goose eggs?

How long before the red rock's eggs get larger?
Depends on how old your red rocks are. If your pullet has only just started to lay it may be a few weeks before the eggs reach medium size. The first few eggs laid by a hen are usually quite small and will reach optimum size once the bird matures.
What color are Goose?
That's simple they're white with brown spots. We have several breeds of geese and until now they have all laid plain white eggs, without any spots. We just found a big brown speckled egg in the hen house the exact same size as our duck eggs and the smaller white goose eggs. Who laid the huge brown egg, a goose, a duck or one of the new chickens?
