Question

The egg laying variety of a bird, popular all over the world is
A. Plymouth rock
B. Hampshire
C. White leghorn
D. Wyandotte

Answer 1

The females lay bird eggs and incubate them for a period that varies according to the species; from each egg, a single young hatch. Even when the eggs have not been fertilized, some birds lay eggs; it is not unusual for pet owners to find their lone bird nesting on a clutch of infertile eggs, often referred to as wind-eggs.

Complete step by step answer:
- Plymouth rock: The American breed of domestic chicken is Plymouth Rock. It was first seen in the nineteenth century in Massachusetts and was the most common chicken breed in the United States for much of the early twentieth century. The Plymouth Rock is one of the best American breeds of all- rounder chickens. It's a fine egg- layer, it's perfect as a table bird, and for a backyard, it can be the best breed. Hence option A is incorrect.
- Hampshire: In the United States, the New Hampshire breed of chicken originated in the state of New Hampshire. The adult birds are a deep chestnut color, slightly lighter and shadier than the Rhode Island Reds. Also, the chicks are a lighter color. Hence option B is incorrect.
- White leghorn: White leghorn and Rhode Island red are exotic breeds of fowl popularly reared in our country. The most common exotic breed for poultry farming is the white leghorn. It has a small body size (2.7 kgs of cock and 2 kg of hen body weight), so less feed is required for maintenance. It produces white eggs that are long. Hence option C is incorrect.
- Wyandotte: Wyandottes are beautiful birds that come in an infinite number of colors. Not just because they're so stunning, but because they're active layers and perfect backyard companions, this American bred bird is extremely common worldwide. Hence option D is correct.
Hence option D: Wyandotte is the correct answer.

Note: Wyandotte chickens are decent medium- sized light brown egg layers that lay about 200 or just under 4 eggs per year per week. They make good moms happy to raise a batch of chicks for you. Of course, this implies the Wyandotte has a tendency to be broody, which if you want eggs, not chicks, is a nuisance.
