Yes, they can, as long as they are fed food like layers pellets and chicken corn (preferably together) and have a bed in a coop, or an old hut will do, so that they have some where to lay the eggs. Also, shut them up at night so that they are more likely to lay.
Chickens lay on average 5 to 6 eggs a week, but less in the winter when the daylight is less.
That would totally depend on the breed and age of the hen.
Free range eggs are not any particular color. It depends on the type of chicken that layed the egg. Our Gold Star Chickens lay beautiful brown eggs, while our White Rock Chickens lay brownish eggs. The White Rocks have a pale color when compared to the Gold Stars. For more information email us at: wilsonfamilyfarm.stuart@gmail.com
Yes, chickens lay unfertilized eggs.
What is the pronoun for the chickens lay lots of eggs
No, only female chickens lay eggs.
no they lay eggs THEY DON'T!! but some chickens lay eggs that turn into chicks over time
Your hens should still lay in their nesting boxes, even after they are let out to free range. If they dont (are young/inexperienced) then they will lay werever they see fit. If your hens are ex-battery hens, they will not even lay in boxes; they just drop eggs were they are standing. (If you dont keep the door to the coop open, you should!)
If they are consistant they should be able to lay 40.
Hens are mom chickens and roosters are dad chickens. Only mom chickens, hens, lay eggs. They lay eggs all year.
Proponents of eggs from free-range chickens state that the eggs have higher levels of good fats (omega-3s) and lower levels of bad fats (saturated fats, cholesterol, etc.). There are also claims that the eggs have higher levels of trace nutrients such as vitamins and minerals. However, I have not seen scientific backing for these claims so this is not proof-positive that free range chickens lay healthier eggs. I have eaten eggs that my parents raised on their farm and can tell you that they tend to have more taste to them.
Chickens lay unfertilized eggs because they do not need a rooster to produce eggs. Hens have reproductive systems that allow them to lay eggs regularly, whether or not they have mated with a rooster.
