Barely bigger than a 5p coin, it measures just 0.9 inches (2.5cm) long, has a diameter of 0.79 inches (2cm) through its widest part and weighs 0.26oz (7.3g).
When the weather is warm and a hen bred for egg production is healthy and in her prime, she'll lay one egg on average every 26 hours. If she were able to keep up this pace all year long, she'd produce about 337 eggs -- but most hens don't lay as many eggs in the winter as they do during the rest of the year. This brings the average down to around 265 eggs per year for a normal production hen, or a little more than two eggs every three days.
