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 hens begin laying eggs at between 5 and 6 months of age. The first eggs a chicken lays will be small and soft, increasing over time in size, with production diminishing. A hen will lay more eggs during its first 2 years, tapering off dramatically after about 3 years.
