they lay around 250 a year but once a man bet the record of 364 in 365 days WOW
Cochin hens are only fair egg producers, laying an average of two per week.
None...only Polish roosters lay eggs.
Hens can live a whole life without fertilization and still lay fresh eggs just as frequently as hens who are mated regularly. To produce fertilized eggs for hatching, hens must be mated about once weekly.
Claret refers to the color of the hen however some use it to refer to a game hen or fighting bird. Game hens are not prolific egg layers but average 120 eggs per year usually medium size or smaller.
The Cochin breed originated in China. They have 4 toes on each foot. The bantam rooster weighs 32 ounces while the hen weighs 28 ounces.

A hen will go "broody" at anytime during her egg laying years. Not all hen do and some breeds are just naturally brooders. To ensure at least one brood hen in the flock you might consider getting a Cochin or a Silkie hen as these two breeds are good brooders. There is no way to force a hen to sit on eggs.
about 2 eggs.

Sometimes they are, bigger breeds like orpington, cochin, australorp, are more prone to breaking their eggs because they are bigger and heavier, whereas breeds like silkie, Japanese bantam, etc, rarely break their eggs. Also, eggs are surprisingly strong and when a hen incubates her eggs she loses the feathers on her abdomen and so the eggs are in contact with her soft skin
Yes. they both do. But their eggs are very different. While the hen's eggs have a hard outside the frogs eggs are very soft. Also a hen doesn't lay nearly as many eggs as a frog. Also frogs eggs are in the water, while a hen lays them on land.
Brown eggs come from hens that are mostly brown such as Plymouth Rock and Rhode Island. White eggs come from white hens such as the white Leghorn.Another viewFeather colour is not actually a good indicator of the colour egg the hen will lay. Breed of hen will determine the colour of the egg shell. Black Cochin hens lay brown eggs, white Ameraucana hens will lay green shelled eggs. It is believed the colour of the feathers near the ears of a hen is an indicator but that too is not always reliable.
