Farm Fresh Chicken Eggs With Red Barn In Background Stock Photography

Chicken eggsHens lay about one egg per day when they’re laying. You can tell what color eggs a hen will lay by the color of her ear. If it’s white, your hen will lay white eggs; if it’s red, she’ll lay brown ones. There’s no difference in flavor or nutrition. If you want to get chicks from your eggs, you’ll need a rooster. A hen that is getting ready to nest becomes “broody.” This means that she wants to hatch her eggs. She’ll sit “tight” on the nest and resist having her eggs collected, whereas a non-broody hen will let you reach under her to collect eggs.
