How many fertalized eggs will the chicken lay in one setting?
A chicken can lay anywhere between 5 and 12 eggs in one setting. (numbers can vary, but this is about the average).

So dont be suprised to find more than the average amount of eggs. We've come home to find a chicken laying on 18 fertilized eggs before. of course, these included the stolen eggs too!

Can chickens eat cheese?
Yes of course! chickens will eat almost any scraps, thus making them good, diverse animals to keep. They can definitely eat white cheese because there is no dye in it. We tried this with our chickens. Our chickens went mad for the cheese. The one that got almost all of them was our chicken, Chicken Licken. She is white. We notice that chickens that are laying eggs need more protein than our other chicken Chimpmunk who is four months old and not yet laying eggs. Our third chicken, Feather, she eats a lot of worms and stuff (slugs, etc.) and she's laid the most eggs. Because they are so precious we haven't eaten them (the eggs) yet.
I Have 4 chickens and only get 2 eggs a day. How can you tell which of the chickens is laying?
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.
