For most of a hen’s life, she is laying both
fertile and unfertile, eating eggs. Hens
usually only lay one egg a day.
Hens like having a nice, tight nesting box
to lay her eggs. Nesting boxes are made from
wood and usually have hay at the bottom of
them.
Hens like laying eggs in dark, warm places
rather than light, cooler places. In the
wild, they use a hollow on he ground and
sometimes find corners of a farmyard.
The shell of eggs when first laid are
usually moist but it air dries fairly
quickly. When the days become longer, hens
lay more eggs. As the days get shorter, the
amount of eggs they lay gets lower and lower
until winter when they don’t lay any eggs at
all. Occasionally, they lay eggs all year
round.
