Egg production

Egg production involves hens' biological process of forming and laying eggs. Inside the hen, yolks develop in the ovary and are released into the oviduct, where whites, membranes, and shells are added in stages. This process is regulated by hormones and typically takes about 24-26 hours, resulting in a fresh egg most days. Factors like breed, age, nutrition, and lighting influence production levels. Hens usually lay eggs in a cycle, and management practices aim to support consistent, healthy egg output.
