Coming Soon!

AMAZING CHICKEN FACTS:

  • In 1925, hens laid an average of 100 eggs a year. Now the average is 255 eggs per year as a result of specialized breeding programs.
  • A hen lives an average of 5-7 years, but can live up to 20 years.
  • An egg starts growing into a chick when it reaches a temperature of 86 degrees F.
  • Chickens can cross breed with turkeys. The result is called a 'Turkin'.



"So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good!"
Genesis 1:21
