He is so confused. Either he can't count eggs or he can't count chickens.

Or he is lying.

Maybe both...

I don't know why we're using decimals. Fractions would make more sense. I found a 1/2 eaten egg the other day so I got 5 1/2 eggs

I don't want that half of an egg.

But like he said everyday so if what he’s saying is accurate, which i doubt, saying he’s not collecting all the eggs everyday (like if he has a couple late day layers) wouldn’t make sense LOL

I know - he has some hidden chickens! They pop in there, lay those .3 eggs, and disappear again so he can't count them.

Naw, he's lying out his ______ and is too stubborn/unintelligent to back down when others call him on his _______. But he will defend his lie until the end! Definitely funnier that way...

Ok, my sense of it all is this: Let's take a top laying chicken like a Pearl White Leghorn, put her in the right temperature with 24/7 light, and within a 24 hour period, it is possible for her to lay two eggs in that time. Off of that, she won't be able to do that every day. If she does say, lay an egg this day, two eggs the next, then her one egg the day after that; she is heading for serious health issues down the road. Like a lot of high production birds, she most likely will get things like water belly and other reproductive problems.

So out of that information, if that guy has 20 hens and is getting 26 eggs a day, he might have that Leghorn's setup with top layers. It's extremely unhealthy for the hens and all, but if that's what he is doing, that's how he's getting that amount. I still see it as unreasonable, especially because that quote is assuming every hen is laying every single day (which naturally is unnatural).

At least they're not asking for this year's model

I was also thinking that every hen doesn’t lay every day. Maybe he has 30 hens and gets 26 eggs. That would even be a stretch in my mind.
