Layer Hens
Layer hens are domesticated chickens that are specifically bred and raised for the purpose of laying eggs. These hens are typically kept in large commercial operations or backyard settings and are known for their high egg production. They are usually white or brown in color and are fed a diet that is specifically formulated to support their egg-laying capabilities. Layer hens are different from meat chickens, as they are bred to produce a high volume of eggs rather than for their meat.
