If your chickens are young and have not yet come into lay then you can look at their vent ( opening in their bum) and see if it is tight and puckered or wider and loose. Chicken that are laying have more open vents. Chickens only lay two eggs every three days, one about every 25 to 26 hours in high production. You almost have to catch the hen on the nest and cackling to prove the egg was from that one.

What red chicken does brown eggs come from?
No. You cannot tell the color of eggs the chicken will lay by the color of their feathers. I have green egg laying chickens called Araucana's and they are not green chickens. Brown feathered hens lay both white and brown eggs as do white hens. Feather color is not an indicator of egg color, breed determines the color of the egg.
What is brooding chickens?
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.

Did God create the chicken and its egg together?
If you come across my solution to the chicken and egg puzzle as explained below, please know that I am the author though in another name like gerry, oslove, odrareg, and other names. First, up to the present there is no explanation for the socalled origin of species or evolution of species; what the proponents of the theory of evolution are actually dealing with is not the origin of species but the succession of latter species from earlier species. But they will never admit this fact, namely, that they have never explained the origin of species but are just keeping themselves busy with detecting how already extant species gave rise to later species -- and feeling so dishonestly self-complacent about having explained the origin of species. Ask them what about that state and stage after the appearance of life but before the appearance of species, at which point when species should have started, they will insist that this question has to do with abiogenesis but not with evolution -- very convenient but still their self-dishonesty is glaringly conspicuous to any even grade school kids. Next, they will try to divert your attention by challenging you to define life and species. Don't give any definitions of life and of species, tell them that for the purpose of the issue, it is more than adequate for intelligent people that examples of life and species are admitted by also intelligent people for the sake of discussing the origin of species. Examples of life: dogs, cats, cows, humans; examples of species: also dogs, cats, cows, humans. Anyway, here is my answer to the socalled paradox of which came first, the chicken or the egg: They came together at the same time with the first eggs already inside the first chickens which will then lay them and hatch them into succeeding chickens, and thus the beginning of chickens laying eggs which they will hatch into chickens which will in turn lay eggs, and on and on and on... So God created the first chickens with already eggs inside them, that is the intelligent way to make chickens and eggs -- which first eggs the first chickens will lay or deliver from inside themselves, which eggs they will then hatch into chickens and thus inaugurate production of eggs from chickens which they will hatch into succeeding chickens which will in turn lay eggs, etc., etc., etc. Why not produce the eggs first? Not an intelligent option because eggs have got to be safely contained inside mother chickens, that's why. What about producing them separately but at the same time? Not intelligent enough, why? See preceding question, that's why; besides if the first chickens were given a choice they would certainly opt to have their first eggs given to them already placed inside their bodies instead of outside and separated from themselves. If the proponents of evolution theory object to God, then ask them what is more intelligent, to postulate God or to postulate chance which chance will eventually have to be endowed with intelligence and power to be successful in producing the first chickens and the first eggs.
