Explain the difference between organic eggs free range and free run eggs vs supermarket eggs?
Confusing isn't it. Lets get this cleared up for you.Certified Organic eggs are eggs from hens who are fed a diet of organic foods. Grains that have not been grown with chemicals and the hens are not treated with medications. "Organic eggs" does not always mean the hens are free range or even free run. Organic eggs can come from chickens kept in cages all their life. They are just not fed with foods that have insecticide or chemical fertilizers applied while growing.Free range eggs. These eggs are collected from hens who have the run of the yard and can forage outside in fields and bushes. Free range means exactly that, the hens are free to go where they wish, free range hens sleep in a chicken coop at night safe from predators but are allowed out during the day to supplement their food with whatever they can find. Not all free range eggs are "organic" The free range hens can be fed with medicated grains, treated with health preventative medicines and can also eat greenery treated with chemical fertilizers, which makes them NON organic.Free run eggs. Sounds a bit like free range but there is a big difference. Free run eggs are from chickens who are not kept in cages but who are kept in large barns. These hens are allowed to roam around the interior of the barn but do not have access to fresh air, fresh food and greenery.

How many eggs will sixty hens lay in four weeks?
You want your hens are to the age of laying eggs (which is about 6 months), and your hens are under the age of three years (because when they reach this age, they are past their prime, and lay less eggs). Expect from your hens that every day 80% of the number of hens will be your number of eggs. So with this math, if you have 60 hens that are all in their prime, you can expect to get about 1344 eggs in four weeks.

How many hens and roosters does one need for a continuous production of 50 fertilized eggs per day?
Brown egg layers average 2 eggs every three days. White leghorns can produce an egg a day. If you have 75 hens for 50 eggs a day, then I would suggest three roosters to handle the fertilization job. And, be aware that you will have months where you get more than 50 eggs a day; production depends on hours of light per day and age of hen. Young layer hens will lay every day in the spring.

What is the process of getting eggs from the hen house?
Most hens get into a routine when laying eggs. Often the best time to collect eggs is about one hour before sunset since most hens will have completed the laying process for that day. If there is a hen sitting on a nest just move her to collect any eggs already under her and move to the next next looking for eggs. Always check all dark, quiet areas in the chicken coop as the hens do not always use the nesting boxes. Collect eggs at least once per day and use the float test when there is any doubt about when the egg was laid.
