Best Answer

An Aseel or Asil chicken is a breed of gamefowl that originated in Pakistan and India. They are 4-5 pounds, very aggressive and very poor layers of their medium sized, cream colored eggs. On a good week you will find 1 egg laid. The small Asil variety may only lay 6 eggs per year. The large Asil can lay around 40 eggs per year.

How many eggs does a hen lay when she is sitting?

An individual hen will go"broody" and will gather a clutch of eggs to brood. These will not always be her own eggs. She will steal them from other hens by rolling them into the nest she has chosen. Unless the hen is broody she will lay her egg and leave the nest announcing loudly to the rest of the flock what she has accomplished. Hens can go broody whether there is a rooster in the flock or not, so no, not just fertile eggs trigger the brooding instinct.


How many eggs can a hen lay in all?

How many is enough? Let me figure per person. If I want 2 eggs on Sunday and bake or cook using eggs using 2 more eggs 2 times a week I will need on average 6 eggs for myself per week. A good hen will at her best give you 7 eggs a week until she slows down to zero in the fall and winter. So while the egg machine is working 1 hen per person is usually enough.

What causes the chicken eggs to hatch on the same day?

The hen will lay an egg each day in it's nest. The eggs are fertile, but the hen isn't setting on the nest yet, so the chicks don't start to grow. When the hen decides to set on the eggs, she stops laying eggs, and just stays on the ones in her nest. The warmth and moisture from her body start the chicks growing. It takes around 21 days until the eggs hatch.
