Yes, chickens can continue to lay eggs for up to four or five years, with peak production typically occurring in the first two years of laying. However, the rate of laying usually decreases after the first couple of years.

Chicken, or egg first?

Eggs come from chickens and chickens come from eggs: that’s the basis of this ancient riddle. But eggs – which are just female sex cells – evolved more than a billion years ago, whereas chickens have been around for just 10,000 years. So the riddle is easily solved…or is it?


How often do chickens lay eggs?

On average, chickens can lay about one egg per day, although this can vary depending on breed, age, and environmental factors. Younger chickens tend to lay more frequently than older ones.


What age do brown chickens lay eggs?

Chickens, whether the chicken is brown, white, blue, red or, or... all start laying eggs when they are mature enough to do so. The average age for chickens to start laying eggs is 5-6 months of age. You will notice the wattle and comb begin to appear more red than pink as they become more developed and distinct. This is an indicator that the young hen is about ready to start laying. And brown chickens don't necessarily lay brown eggs. It's a common misconception. Brown Leghorns, for example, lay white eggs just as their white colored counterparts do. The color of egg the chicken will lay coincides with the color of the earlobe. A white earlobe = white eggs. Colored earlobe = brown or tinted eggs. Hope this helped!

When do silkies start laying?

Silkies start laying (usually) between 7-9 months, which is later than most chickens, I have an 8 month old that hasn't started laying yet, but a plus to that is, the later in life your silkies lay, the more eggs you will get, and the more consistent with laying she will be.

What are the ethics behind egg production augment?

Battery chickens, the chickens used in egg production, are kept in battery cages. These are tiny cages with very little room for the chicken. They are kept in conditions that would shock most people who eat their eggs. Bright, artificial lights are used to simulate daylight, to make them lay more than they would in natural conditions. They can barely move in their cages, are kept separate from other chickens, and do not have freedom or any kind of natural conditions to live in. Free-range eggs are eggs from free-range chickens, chickens kept in natural conditions- normal lighting, better food, and room to move around. While battery chickens produce more eggs per chicken with less room, the chickens themselves need better care than that, or so many people think.

why is my chickens eggs soft?

If your eggs are a little soft served for your liking, it's an indication that your chickens probably need some more calcium in their diet. Normal layer feed that you're giving your hens does have more calcium in it than other types of feed, as laying hens do need more than other types of chicken.
