I am eggs hausted :-).
It takes a hen 24-26 hours to lay an egg. A chicken takes 21 days to hatch. Special breed hens lay about 300 eggs in a year. They incubate their eggs and raise young ones. A mother hen turns her egg approximately 50 times in a day. This is so the yolk does not stick to the shell. Hen takes 24-26 hours to lay an egg.
Lets draw a hen. It is a few more steps, but again as I have said earlier they are just few more alphabets.
- Start with upside down J. You can think of it as a candy cane or upside down U joined with L
- Write another small L at the free end of bigger L.
- To make face write a small reverse C and then a big C for chest. Write another C to start making wing.
- My C was not big enough in the earlier figure. Make sure you write a big enough C.
- Write 11 for feet, and M for beaks. Put dots for eye.
- Make plumage with C, joined with three more Cs.
- Join L and C of side wing with M to finish the side wing.
- Write a series of crooked Vs to join the tip of C of plumage to the tip of 1 of second foot.
- Write upside down U between feet and join them with I.
- Write three upside down Us together for crown.
- Write two flat Os more like oval for eggs.
Why do hens lay eggs?
Because if they dropped them they would break. :-).
