I can't remember what breed your Martha is CM. Are they generally good broodys? I know what you mean about lack of info on natural chicken rearing. As you say, it's all incubators. |

Over 1,000 I'd guess. How near a figure do you need Eileen? |

Ooh - Different breeds lay different numbers. Battery hens lay around 250 to 280 a year and are only kept as layers for around 20 months so I guess 450? |

I'd say within 10 ....1000 is way too high. |

I'll say 430 ....................... I'd forgotten that "normal" hens don't lay in the darker months. |

Well, the answer is 229 (how do they come up with these figures?) So. I think it would be fair to give you each 2 points if that's OK? Q2 What is a baby eel called? |
