Raising hens for the purpose of having
fertilized chicken eggs or fresh eggs daily is a good way of always having safe food. You have taken good care of your egg-laying hens since they began performing at six months old. Now, at five years old, your hen has stopped producing eggs. Five years is a long time to spend with an animal and you may have grown fond of her. If you have fond feelings for your hen or think that the chickens would be depressed if she disappeared, it is okay to keep her as a pet.
