A good layer will produce from 5 to 7 eggs per week from about 7 months old to as old as two years and beyond. Breed, health and nutrition determine the laying life of a hen.

How many chickens can live in one chicken house on average how many can die in one day?

Well it depends on how big your chicken house is, and if the house is heated. chickens do not require alot of space, but depending on what you want your chickens for, the happier the chicken, the more the eggs. chickens will not lay eggs when they are stressed. and as far as how many can die in a day, that's completely out of anyones hands. they could all die in one night. do keep in mind though you should expect some deaths, average of about 1 a week. hope this answers your questions.

Why egg do not remain fresh for a long period of time?

Because by the time it got to you, it could have been around for months, and it was poor quality to begin with thanks to the conditions the chickens are kept. If you want long-lasting eggs, go to the smallest farm you can and see if you can drop by once a week to buy fresh eggs from them. I keep chickens and their eggs are still good a month after we collect them.
