Granite is a light-colored igneous rock with grains large enough to be visible with the unaided eye. It forms from the slow crystallization of magma below Earthâs surface. Granite is composed mainly of quartz and feldspar with minor amounts of mica, amphiboles and other minerals.This mineral composition usually gives granite a red, pink, gray or white color with dark mineral grains visible throughout the rock.Granite is the best-known igneous rock.ranite is composed mainly of quartz and feldspar with minor amounts of mica, amphiboles and other minerals.

This is dry, air, almost absent of humidity. Each year we know that egg production will drastically decline and that a heat induced molt is coming. The molt is not really from the heat but from the stress it places on our flock, so technically it is a stress induced molt.
The shell is created by calcium deposition around the forming egg within the uterus. The fertilized ova takes approximately 4 hours to travel to the uterus. Once in the uterus, calcification of the egg's shell takes approximately 20 hours. This is why a hen can only lay one egg per 24 hour period. About 15 minutes after the first egg is laid, the hen ovulates again and the process is repeated.
