A typical egg-laying hen can lay as many as 250 eggs a year. Egg-laying hens, call pullets, begin laying eggs when they are about five months old. On a small farm, a chicken might lay eight to ten eggs in a nest and spend three weeks hatching them.
But on a large commercial egg farm, the eggs are taken away as soon as they are laid, and the chicken jus keeps laying. Chickens produce the most eggs during their first laying year. After a year or so, they are usually sold as stewing chickens, and the egg farmer buys a new flock of pullets.–Dick Rogers

I’m impressed, I need to say. Actually not often do I encounter a blog that’s each educative and entertaining,
and let me inform you, you may have hit the nail on the head.
Your concept is outstanding; the problem is one thing that not sufficient
people are talking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled
across this in my search for one thing regarding this.

Hi, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get
a lot of spam comments? If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you can advise?
I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any help is very much appreciated.
