Why does a hen who used to lay eggs now crows like a rooster?

No The only time I have seen a rooster in a nesting box was when it was sick or injured. The nesting boxes are used for "nesting". Laying eggs or when brooding. The roosters do not do this. If you have a rooster doing this there is something wrong. He is either being harassed by another rooster in the flock or he is hurt or sick. It is easier to protect themselves from harm when…

No Eggs you buy at the store have not been fertilized. Hens used to produce eggs for mass marketing never see a rooster. If you buy organic eggs there is a chance they are fertilized but most farms are careful not to allow the eggs to begin development. It takes from 36 to 72 hours for changes to take place in a fertile egg. Temperature and humidity must be correct and refrigerated eggs cannot start…

A broody hen is the term used when a hen is ready to sit on and hatch eggs, or is already sitting on eggs or has chicks. Basically, a hen in a 'mothering mood'. You can tell she's broody by the deep clucks she makes, her fluffing up her feathers and possibly squawking when anyone (including the rooster) comes near, desire to sit on eggs, and of course, if she already has chicks.

There is no superficial examination to check whether eggs are fertilized or not because approximately 25% eggs are unfertilized . when eggs are incubated , it is confirmed that approximately 75% eggs develop .

Roosters used to father chicks are best used between the ages of 1 and 5, after the age of 3 they will begin to slow down, they never really stop doing the work they just don't do it as much.

Fertilized eggs are available from most local hatcheries all year. Spring time is the usual big selling time. Check with your area feed outlet for local farmers who will sell eggs from a flock with a rooster. 4H clubs can be of help also, as they know area farms that always have fertilized eggs on hand and can collect and store a few days worth for you to put into an incubator. Eggs can also…

It is part of the phrase "banty rooster" which was short for "bantam rooster" which is a smaller breed of fowl than normal-sized roosters. They're only about half the size of normal ones. The phrase "like a banty rooster" was commonly used to describe a person who acted tough or suave in order to "outman" the others. It can also mean cocky or oversure of oneself. PMZ

Nothing. Eggs are special and can't be copied, just like snowflakes.

Many different breeds of chickens are raised for their eggs. Some, like Orpingtons, are raised for both meat and eggs while others. such as the leghorn, are primarily used for eggs only.

Potentially yes, however that possible chicken can never be formed unless the hen and a rooster get together and mate. The egg must be fertilized first. The majority of eggs are not fertilized as chickens used to produce for the mass market never see a rooster. On my farm almost all egg are fertile, but I collect them daily, refrigerate them and they do not get a chance to develop an embryo unless I put…

Banty is short for Bantam. The old folks back in the day just always call Bantam Roosters, "banty" roosters. In addition this term is used to describe the behavior of some short men who may tend to walk with a swagger and adopt a somewhat exaggerated male posture. They are called banty roosters after the bantam rooster both because of their size and because their behavior can "out-rooster" the more standard sized rooster. Bantams are…

The most widely used term is "murder." A group of crows can also be called a flock, muster or storytelling of crows. This is based on the (fallacious) folk tale that crows form tribunals to judge and punish the bad behavior of a member of the flock. If the verdict goes against the defendant, that bird is killed (murdered) by the flock. The basis in fact is probably that occasionally crows will kill a dying…

Crows and ravens figure largely in pre-Christian faiths and practices, and folk art draws heavily on past beliefs and practices. An artist friend of mine is more pragmatic. Crows,she tells me, are just easier to draw and paint than multicolored birds.

A military directed energy beam could be used on crows and pigeons. However, it is likely that many of them would be killed or injured by the weapon.

No it won't hatch because the Rooster has to fertilize the egg first and the egg hasn't been fertilized !!! Eggs you buy at the store are usually produced at large farms where there are no roosters. These eggs have to meet strict standards of quality called Grading for size and quality. The eggs are "candled" using a strong light to see inside the shell and if there are any spots they are used for…

Let me just say first that I am speaking from years of experience. I have about a dozen roosters right now, am not afraid of any of them, they are all tame, and even the one mean rooster is easy to deal with. Even my 2-year-old niece has been taught "the ways of the rooster", and is totally unafraid of them! It's actually much easier than most people think. There are very, very few roosters…

No. Absolutely not. Most hens raised as egg producers have never come in contact with the male of the species. Large hatcheries who specialize in laying hens cull or separate the cockerels the day they hatch and only the layers are kept and shipped out. Many farms keep only hens for egg production as roosters are often used for meat. The hens lay the eggs daily whether the rooster is present or not. Jadeacres answer…

The best thing to do is to buy a chick while it's still several days old. That way, it will be able to get used to you as it's owner. Also, it's better to get hens than a rooster, because the hens lay eggs, while the roosters are almost useless unless you know how to prepare it for food.

On our farm we never sell an egg we suspect has been laid more than 24 hours previous, all our eggs are collected ,cleaned and refrigerated within 24 hours of lay. We have however used eggs for our own use that we will not sell and never had a problem. If you collect an egg from a flock with a rooster and suspect it is more than 48 hours old and it has been hot…

Mostly, medieval people ate their eggs, although some were permitted to hatch so they could continue to have poultry. There were a number of medieval recipes involving eggs, including pies made with eggs and dishes involving eggs together with cheese, meat, fish, or fruit. Some of these must have been rather like custards. Eggs were pickled, preserved in acids or brine. In the Late Middle Ages, new dishes used eggs in new ways, including making…

Let me just say first that I am speaking from years of experience. I have about a dozen roosters right now, am not afraid of any of them, they are all tame, and even the one "mean" (meaning overly macho) rooster is easy to deal with.

Rooster production it basically hit and miss. There is no way to control what you get from the hatch. It has been suggested that higher incubation temperatures increase Rooster production however it also reduces hatch totals. Male /female ratios of a hatch are usually 50%. Roosters hatched in single purpose layer hatcheries were often culled right away. As there is little or no difference in the meat value of cockerels verses pullet the roosters are…

EGGS ARE VEG. PROOF:- The eggs which are sold in the market are purely vegetarian. It means that the eggs that we eat are totally veg. It is because there are 2 types of eggs. They are- i) Hybridized Egg ii) Non-hybridized Egg In a poultry farm, hybridized eggs are only used for fertilization to give birth to young chicks. These type of eggs are not sold in the shops and markets. These type of…

In doing research online about this, it seems that store bought mayo, like Hellmans, is fine because the eggs used are pasturized. SO go ahead and eat. However, you shouldn't make home-made mayo (who does?) and should also avoid any softcooked or raw eggs.
