Toby - don’t laugh, but what is the process for a hen to produce an egg?
How long does it take? How many can one hen lay in 24 hours? and the biggie - how do they get fertilized?
Now, I could google all of this, but I’d much rather hear it from you. :)
NOT to be smart but I really don’t know except I do know it does not take a rooster to speed things up. Secondly, I don’t buy my chickens that do not lay brown eggs as I feel they have the best taste.
I neglected my chickens while recuping from my operation and it is takking time to get them to going back into the ‘oval office’ to lay in their nests and it is taking time as they have been laying all over the yard. I am up to about a doz a day now in the chicken house and am expecting two dozen when I get them back on track.
So much for my ‘ranch’ talk.
I walked the place yesterday and man oh man, do I have a lot to do to get the place picked up with down limbs, stuff blown into the wooded part from the high winds we have been having.
To change the subject, i am sick of politics.
I am off to the ‘big house’ to get my dose of ‘youngun’ crying, etc., naw, just kidding, I love it.
