1 Female chickens are called pullets for their first year or until they begin to lay eggs. 2  For most breeds, around 20 weeks is a typical age for the first egg. 3  Some breeds lay eggs daily, some every other day, some once or twice a week. Most hens will lay eggs in the same nest box as flockmates, so itâs not necessary to have a nest box for each hen. 2  Some hens like to lay their eggs in private and others will join their sisters in the nest box. 3  Often two or three hens will crowd into one box while another nest box remains empty.

Â· just now. 1  Facies Definition. 2  Well in theory you could describe all facies as any rock produced by a given set of conditions.. 3  No facies is usually defined as perhaps several rock layers making up a body of rock that have the same characteristics. 4  The term facies refers to all of the characteristics of a particular rock unit. For example, you might refer to a tan, cross-bedded oolitic limestone facies. The characteristics of the rock unit come from the depositional environment. Every depositional environment puts its own distinctive imprint on the sediment, making a particular facies.
