Occasionally, chickens will lay a very small egg - don't worry about it, this sometimes happens. Of course if they are a bantam breed (miniature), this is normal. However, if the hen is a regular sized breed and is laying tiny eggs regularly, she may have a lack of protein or other nutrients. Make sure she's getting a balanced diet (you may want to feed her oyster shells for calcium), and isn't sick.
re- 9 eggs is wrong, it says how many eggs would 9 chickens lay in 9 days. that is 81. However. this could be a quote from asimov's I,robot (page 179)and the answer in that case would be 54. -re re. The Answer is 54, like it says in Asimov's books (I just read it in his short story book The Complete Robot, page 495). Just think if one chicken laid one and a half eggs in one and a half days the rate would be 1 egg per chicken per day, equaling 81 eggs for 9 chickens in 9 days. However because the question is if one AND A HALF chickens lays one and a half eggs in one and a half days you times 81 by 2/3 giving 54. I could be wrong though. Can anyone add to this? 54 eggs 04/16/10 RE: Asimov's riddle Hi, thanks for starting this thread. I was thinking about this riddle recently and it definitely had me scratching my head for a while. It is as much of a logic puzzle as it is a math puzzle. The way I see it, You need to establish a number ratio to contrast the comparison of 1.5 chickens, eggs and days to the 9 chickens and 9 days (or 1 chicken 1 day) So, lets say for the sake of finding this mysterious ratio, that each chicken is actually not 1 but 1.5 chickens. So there is an extra .5 (or 1/3) in each day. But we dont have just 1 chicken, we have 9. By taking 9 chickens and dividing it by '1.5 chickens ' we are given 6. Which is 2/3's of 9. This is how many eggs are laid each day. Multiply this number by your number of days (9) and you get the number 54. 54 is a confusing answer, but the right answer. Besides, Robots are not allowed to lie to humans.
2 chickens in 2 days lays 2 eggs, so 1/2 egg per chicken per day on the average. With 4 chickens we should get about 2 eggs per day, for a total of 8 eggs after 4 days.
I'd say four or five.
Yes, it is normal for a chicken to lay one egg at a time. Chickens typically lay one egg per day, and they will often lay their eggs in a nesting box or some other designated spot. If you only see one egg at a time, it is likely because the chicken has not yet laid another one.

A chicken can lay anywhere between 5 and 12 eggs in one setting. (numbers can vary, but this is about the average). Also, if you have other laying chickens in the same nesting boxes, it is not uncommon for the laying chicken to steal eggs from the other chickens. 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!
This usually happens with young hens who are just getting started laying. Their reproductive tract is still getting used to making eggs, so they are going to have a few that don't end up quite right.
Inside chicken coops, for egg laying purposes, one should have nests for the chicken to lay eggs, perches for the birds to sit on when they are not laying eggs, and a supplemental light source to keep on (whenever there is not natural sunlight), because the chickens will continue to lay eggs as long as they think it is daytime.
Chickens lay one egg every 28 hours. There is no way to speed this up, so you would have to have sufficient numbers of laying hens to achieve the number of eggs you want per day. Also, chickens go through a period of laying inactivity during which they replace all their feathers. This is the molting process and you cannot bypass this either.
There isn't a foolproof way to tell which chicken is laying based on the number of eggs produced. The best option is to observe their behavior around the nesting boxes to see which chicken is spending time inside. Additionally, you can try marking the chickens and keeping a log to track which hen is consistently producing eggs.
idk but my chickens have been acting strange lately. one has been attacking the other one. he comes up from behind and rubs his front on the other back. could u help me
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.
That would be a hen that lays eggs, or one that is used for laying eggs as opposed to one raised to be fattened and eaten.
A chicken in peak laying period will lay an egg every 25 hours. so in a 30-31 day mont they lay about 29 eggs. Ideally a bird should lay for 305 eggs per year.
Chickens lay eggs every day because they are biologically programmed to do so as part of their reproductive cycle. This cycle includes producing and ovulating an egg roughly every 24-26 hours, regardless of whether the egg is fertilized.
Chickens are one of the few animals that will lay infertile eggs. The eggs in your refrigerator would never hatch. That would be true even if they had never been in your refrigerator but had been in a nest. (A few chickens are put in pens with roosters. They lay fertile eggs. The eggs hatch and produce little chicks. Some of those will again grow up to be put in pens with roosters. Others will take the jobs of laying eggs. Others will become food.)
Quite simply...No people would argue lots of factors needed to produce good eggs, but this is not one of them. If you meant good chickens then yes, you need heat. (i mean chickens to hatch from the eggs) Quite simply...No people would argue lots of factors needed to produce good eggs, but this is not one of them.
