Answers : In each of the above questions, the answer is ‘A’
*A hen may produce up to 300 eggs per year,
and start laying at approximately 4 months old.
Assuming she is replaced at 18 months of age (industry standard),
potentially she will lay 350 eggs before being killed.
Her brother is of little use to the egg producer,
and will be macerated, or gassed at the hatchery on day 1. messedupthinking.com
