Chickens lay one egg every 28 hours (on average), so to get an average of two eggs per day you would need two hens. However, if you want to be assured of at least two eggs a day, you should probably have three hens.
Also, when hens go through a molt and swap out their feathers, they stop laying eggs until their feathers have grown back in.
the answer is 50 eggs. if 2 hens lay 2 eggs in 2 days, that means that 1 hen, lays half an egg (0,5) in 1 day (a common mistake is saying that 1 hen lays 1 egg in one day but then each hen would lay 2 eggs in 2 days, meaning there will be 4 eggs layed). if each hen lays half an egg (0,5) in one day, in 10 days each hen will lay 5 eggs. So, 10 hens will lay 50 eggs in 10 days.
1 hen -> 0,5 egg per day
10 hens -> 5 eggs per day
5x10= 50 eggs will be layed by 10 hens in 10 days.
None
49.
100
uhh.......... 100 eggs.
All hens lay eggs.
5 days i thinkAnswerIf three hens lay four eggs in five days then one hen lays 4/15 eggs in one day.how many days for one hen to lay 48 eggs?4/15 x = 48x=180If twelve hens are on the job?180/12 = 15 days
I would say three nest box,s because the hens share nests an three boxs should be sufficient for six hens
Hens are mom chickens and roosters are dad chickens. Only mom chickens, hens, lay eggs. They lay eggs all year.
Actually it takes 21 days. Each chicken takes 21 days to lay an egg, so it takes 21 chickens to get 21 eggs. It also takes 14 chickens to lay 14 eggs in 21 days. Reasoning (mistakenly) that if it takes 21 hens 21 days to lay 21 eggs then it must take 14 hens 14 days to lay 14 eggs, eventually leads to 1 hen laying 1 egg in 1 day. If that were the case, then it would only take that 1 hen to lay 21 eggs in 21 days--but we know it takes 21 hens to lay that amount in 21 days.
There is no such thing as a "boy hen". Hens are female chickens.
AnswerThree hens will lay 4 eggs each.Here's the logic: Hmm, 1.5 hens lay 1.5 eggs in 1.5 days doubled (to form usable whole numbers) is 3 hens laying 3 eggs, in the same 1.5 days.4 times the number of days (6) gives 4 X the number of eggs (3 eggs X 4 = 12 eggs) So, 3 hens taking 4 times as long (6 days) lay 12 eggs. AnswerTake away the halves. 1 hen will lay one egg each day. Therefore, he needs 2 chickens.
2 hens because 1 hen lays 1 egg a day and 2 hens would lay 12 eggs in 6 days
Four hens have the potential to lay four eggs but this is not always the case. Old hens will eventually stop laying eggs, sick hens may not lay any eggs and hens even in prime condition may be molting or may just be a slow laying breed. There are many reasons why four hens may not even lay one egg in a single day.
