How many chicks can an adult have in one litter?
Chickens do not give birth; they lay eggs. The number of eggs a hen can lay in one clutch varies depending on the breed, age, and health of the hen, as well as environmental factors. In general, a hen can lay anywhere from 1 to 12 eggs per clutch, with an average of 6-8 eggs. Some hens may lay more or less eggs per clutch. Additionally, the number of clutches a hen can produce per year can also vary depending on the same factors.
