The record for multiple egg yolks in one egg is nine.
A chicken needs to eat approximately four pounds of feed to make a dozen eggs (about 86 cents worth of food at retail).
If a chicken has red ear lobes, it will lay brown eggs if it has white earlobes it will lay white eggs.
Chickens will lay fewer and fewer but larger and larger eggs as they grow older.
The largest recorded chicken egg weighed 12 ounces and had two yolks.
The record for egglaying belongs to a white leghorn that laid 371 eggs in 364 days.
The world record for the most eggs laid in one day is seven.
A "Cornish Game Hen" is actually a 5-6 week old chicken.
