Talk:Hen

I don't agree at all that a HEN is the female of a CHICKEN. In reality is the female of a ROOSTER!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.123.44.173 (talk • contribs)

What is the plural form of the noun "hen" kjevle

Can anybody get the referral to the Hen manga to work? I've tried, and it didn't work, and before I tried to get it to work it linked back to the same page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hen_%28manga%29 is the page it needs to be linked to. If you can help me with this, thank you.(Vassago-DemonOfProphecy 16:57, 4 May 2007 (UTC))

http://www.geocities.com/ostrichwonderland/characteristic.htm says a female ostrich is a hen. www.emusupply.com/basic_habits.htm   says a female emu is a hen. 202.92.40.8 14:30, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

What we call "chicken eggs" are actualy fowl   eggs. What we call chicken (for eating) is the meat (or whole body) of young fowl. Any of various birds of the order Galliformes. The common, widely domesticated chook, Gallus gallus, are in the category of fowl. SO if you really want to refer to the common chicken stock, you might say "Gallus Gallus", or perhaps the breed of gallus gallus as per http://www.ithaca.edu/staff/jhenderson/chooks/chooks.html ... there are a lot of breeds ! ) 202.92.40.8 14:30, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

hens laying eggs
how old are hens when they begin to lay eggs? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lpvining (talk • contribs) 02:04, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * First off, please note that talk pages are for discussion of improvements to the article. Not general discussion of the topic. But most hens start to lay around 4-6 months of age. Steven Walling (talk) 02:45, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Sure, this is for improving the article.. If the answer to the question wasn't in the main article, then its probably a request to add it. 121.218.83.239 (talk) 02:46, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
