How many eggs can a chicken lay?

Sonya (Eighty Four, PA)

Well-fed backyard hens can lay up to 250 eggs per year. As hens get older, they lay less each year.

What happens to the ladies in the cold snowy months?

Lisa (Jefferson, PA)

In the winter, the girls adapt to the colder temperatures. They do stop laying eggs and they go through a molting phase where they lose some feathers but they are just fine in the cold temperatures. However, they do NOT like to step in the snow.
