Chickens
Some chickens are raised
mainly to lay eggs. They are called layers. Each lays about 250
eggs a year. Other chickens are raised for meat. They are called
meat birds or broilers. It takes a baby chick about six weeks to
reach market weight, or, in other words, to get big enough to
eat. Louisiana produces enough chicken for everyone in the state
to have fried chicken every day for two and a half months!
