The farm hen is the most widespread. It is known to be an excellent layer. It is also called the red hen or simply the laying hen. It is not a pure breed, as it is the result of hybridization. Most often, it is the result of a cross between the Red Cornish, the Sussex or the Rhode Island. Its early sexual maturity allows it to lay many eggs throughout its life. From the 20th week, she can begin production.
