How are chickens not extinct, we eat sooo many of them. how fast do they mature and how often do they lay eggs

Answer 1

hi miles (;

Answer 2

There are farms dedicated to the growth of chickens.  Some claim to be free range - meaning they are not kept in cages and some keep them in cages while they grow to the size determined by the fda for consumption.  Healthy chickens lay anywhere from 1 to 2 eggs per day.  Again there are farms dedicated for egg distribution.  Hope this helps...=0)

The growth depends on how the chicken is being raised.  Some are allowed to get to their determined size naturally and some receive hormones to accelerate growth.

Answer 3

I beleive that an average female chicken lays one egg a day, so we do get lots of chickens!!

Answer 4

we mass produce them > we breed lots so we can eat lots.
