A regular chicken egg can approximately hold around 4 lbs. Not much, but it is depending on the chicken and it's health about how the egg shell will produce. Some chickens don't get enough rocks or egg shells to eat and they may lay an egg without a shell. Happened with me before and I learned that they need to eat small rocks and/or crushed egg shells that were heated. If they get enough of these, the shell will come out perfect. :) Hope this helps...

Can you tell by the shape of a egg if it is a rooster or a hen?

No. The size and shape of an egg does not determine the gender of the potential chick inside the egg. There is absolutely no way to determine gender until the embryo is fully formed and hatched.


What if the chicken egg is fertile how long can it be that way and what temp do i store it at.?

Fertility lasts about a week, after that the odds are low that the egg will hatch. They should be stored at room temperature (NEVER refrigerated) with the small end pointing down.


Why are hen chicken wings are tougher than regular chicken wings at the store?

Hens are much older than the chickens grown for meat. The older the animal is when slaughtered, the tougher the meat. Poulets or capons for meat production usually are slaughtered at around six weeks to three months of age. Hens are slaughtered for stew and soup at the end of their prime breeding age, around one and a half years for egg layers, or 2 years for hens that produce eggs for meat birds.


What side of the roof does the egg roll down if a rooster lays an egg on a windy Day?

In my experience if the chicken laid an egg on a house which way would it roll it would have to depend if the chicken is facing you or its backwards. So if the chicken was facing you the egg would roll left. If the chicken was the other way it would probably go right.

Why cook chicken with buttermilk?

Buttermilk is often used as a marinade or as a tenderizing agent for chicken. Personally, I like to fry chicken using buttermilk instead of egg. I love the taste, its much crunchier, I find it so superior to an egg batter in every way.

What came beforethe chicken or the egg?

The chicken came before the egg through evolution. The chicken could have been born through an egg, or the same way humans are born. The first chicken was born from two parents that were NOT chickens. The offspring of the two parents had a mutation which led to the first chicken.

If the egg came first then who laid it?

FACT: The egg did come first. & no one, or no thing laid the egg. God put it on this earth just like he put you and I on here.Answer:Evolution works in such a way that the traits leading up to "chicken -ness" can be present in both parents without them being (technically) chickens. When they mate the genes can recombine to provide the offspring (in the egg) with all the genes to be a chicken. So the parents are not technically chickens, the embryo is a chicken and grows to be a chicken. The chicken comes first. Yes this means the egg the first chicken comes from is not a chicken's egg. All eggs from the first chicken are then chicken's eggs.
