Science I suppose is relying on battery hens for research.

Anything you read says an egg every 23 hours. We, as chicken owners, KNOW that is not true. I have 65 chickens and I collected 12 eggs today. Me thinks there is broody hiding.

Only 12 eggs? Yes, I agree, there's either an Easter Bunny or a broody on the loose.

It, of course, depends on the breed and location and lighting and nutrition and all that stuff. My Cochin lays every other day and my GSL's lay every day. So I get 4-5 eggs every day from 7 chickens. But only 5 are laying- the EE's are only 3 months old.

I thought it was suppose to take at least 26 hours to make an egg?
