How many weeks of production are expected from table egg laying hens?

  1. 24-52 weeks

  2. 52-80 weeks

  3. 40-60 weeks

  4. 30-50 weeks

The correct answer is: 52-80 weeks

The expected production period for table egg laying hens typically spans around 52 to 80 weeks. This duration is crucial as it represents the peak egg-laying phase, where hens are most productive. Beyond this time frame, egg production generally begins to decline due to factors such as age and health changes in the hens. The 52-week mark is often considered the minimum productive life for many commercial laying breeds under standard management practices. Extending to 80 weeks allows breeders and producers to maximize the hens’ output during their prime laying years. This knowledge is essential for poultry farmers to optimize their production schedules and make informed decisions regarding flock renewal and management.
