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).
Most producers like flocks to begin laying at around 20 weeks of age. A flock of hens will lay efficiently for 60-65 weeks. White egg birds will lay 260-285 eggs a year and eat 3 pounds of feed for every dozen eggs they produce. Brown egg layers will lay 240-280 eggs a year and eat 3.5 pounds of feed for every dozen eggs they lay. Once the hens lay for 60-65 weeks, they are rested or molted. This will force all the hens to stop laying at the same time and allow them rebuild calcium stores and restore body condition.
